Description Leif Halvard Silli 2013-01-20 23:10:18 UTC
I came to look at this spec tonight because I was searching for an RDFa template and/or an RDFa lite template for to add to a text editor. Both XHTML and HTML format could be interesting.

But when I find the example document in this document, I was not helped at all. In fact, it was quite confusing that it  (with the fix form bug 20717) is just a normal HTML5 document — witthout any RDFa "bells or whistles".

Because, what does it mean? Does it mean that there is RDF hidden in "normal" HTML documents without any explicit RDFa inside? Or does it simply mean that you want to show how simple RDFA is - or?


If the point is that there is RDFa hidden in normall HTML5, then you should tell us a) that that it is how it is and b) why it is so (e.g. is it because of the default vocabulary?)

Proposal:

Regardless, you should perhaps "beef up" the example document. Or perhaps rather add a second example. (Or may be my expectations are wrong - I thought that one would add RDFa attributes on inside the <html > tag or in the <head > tag.)
