[uf-discuss] RDFa

[Ben Ward]

A W3C Working Draft published on May 16th:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xhtml-rdfa-primer-20060516/

For Embedding RDF in XHTML. Gives iCal and vCard examples. In  
practice, there's a bit mark-up involved than with µF (namespace  
declarations for a start) but seems to acheive much the same thing in  
the end.

One interesting thing to note is the use of the META element for  
embedding computer-readible data, e.g.

<meta property="cal:dtstart" content="20060508T1000-0500">May 8th at  
10am</meta>

Has this ever been considered for Microformats? It seems especially  
relevant given the recent uncertainty regarding ABBR/@TITLE and  
accessibility tools. I have to admit, I've never seen META used  
outside the HEAD and never even considered it as valid. Could it be a  
viable alternative (if it's considered that an alternative is ever  
needed).
