head-profile

head/@profile missing, but used in other specifications/formats

State:
CLOSED
Product:
HTML 5 spec
Raised by:
Julian Reschke
Opened on:
2008-06-26
Description:
HTML5 drops the profile attribute on <head>.

It may not be widely used, but it is used, and this issue is being raised to track the progress on resolving this problem.

Related:

GRDDL use of profile: <http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl/#grddl-xhtml>

Microformats use of profile: "In hcalendar-issues, it is ACCEPTED that each microformat should have a profile URI, like the XFN profile (http://gmpg.org/xfn/11)." -- <http://microformats.org/wiki/profile-uris> as of 2008-06-26.

dissenting view:

let's keep metadata profiles (head/@profile) in HTML for use in GRDDL etc.

I'm not sure why this was pending review?

Chris Wilson, 26 Jun 2008, 17:05:14

next step is probably to put this as a question to the group, get objections on record

Michael[tm] Smith, 10 Jul 2008, 16:53:14

There was a lengthy discussion of @profile with respect to GRDDL in the #whatwg irc channel on 2008-07-25:

The thread came to public-html...

but the meat of the rationale is...

HTML4's profile="" attribute's absence in HTML5

argument for keeping it:

let's keep metadata profiles (head/@profile) in HTML for use in GRDDL etc.

Microformats community suggest using @rel with HTML 5:

Shawn Medero, 8 Oct 2008, 18:07:07

eRDF (http://research.talis.com/2005/erdf/wiki/Main/RdfInHtml) uses @profile as well.
