This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Please add a note saying that the conversion to RDF algorithm may produce statements that cannot be represented as RDF/XML (but can be represented in N-Triples/N3/Turtle). The issues are: 1) textContent in text/html may contain non-XML characters. 2) a property name may not be splittable into a QName in such a way that the local part is an NCName. See also: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20090512#l-735 Please note or make non-conforming property names that can't be serialized even as N-Triples/N3/Turtle. These include at least ">".
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/#section-Serialising CURIEs were invented to avoid this issue.
How could CURIEs expand the range of properties serializable in RDF/XML?
They dont, they expand the range of properties serialisable in RDFa; originally RDFa used QNames, like RDF/XML.
I tried to fix this by just %-escaping the values that go into IRIs, which should fix the n-triples problems. I haven't mentiond XML/RDF because (a) it seems like the RDF community is collectively trying to forget they ever invented RDF/XML, and (b) this is a general limitation of RDF/XML and not related to HTML5 per se.
