Hi Stefano,

I do disagree on several of your points, but it would be getting
bikesheddy raising them here. But I accept what you say regarding
Javascript & GRDDL, I'm gonna have to think (and maybe play) around
that one a bit. GRDDL is now heading towards Last Call, but if you're
getting a "left as an exercise to the reader" taste that should be
addressed.

One minor correction:

The publishers only have to link to a profile doc, that profile can
link to the transformation (or to another profile...). This works well
with microformats, as they all (will, one day...) have profiles, and
HTML good practice would suggest the reference to the profile URI.

Yep, that's definitely the tricky part (as well as the other side of
the implication, the need to have GRDDL transformations produce RDF
that faithfully represents the intended data model).

Don't worry, I appreciate you taking the trouble to put the points.

Cheers,
Danny.
