Thanks Elias for weighing in, i was getting abit worried that people
might have been "putting words in your mouth", it is glad to know you
are on the list to clear-up any potential confusions.

I'm trying to stay out of this because of I'm being consumed by other
commitments, but I'm really pleased to see a very healthy ongoing
conversation on the subject on this list. I think I really like the
way that David is stating the issue and am patiently hoping to see the
uf community taking this issue up further and watching for an outcome.

As an aside, I'm going to refocus my "semantic html" efforts from
worrying too much about the new attributes (e.g. RDFa: about,
property, etc) and worrying about mechanisms to resolve cases such as
the one posted by David. However, more importantly, I need to find an
important enough instance of the so-called problem that needs us to
resolve the "general microformat(s)" case instead of hoping that if we
build it, they will come.
