Hi,

ok. Let's see if we can offer xhtml+RDFa as an additional format, and
see how people react. I'll spread the idea a bit.

Why stop at xhtml+RDFa when you also have:

1. html+microdata
2. html+turtle -- where you use <script/> for embedding Turtle.

Note,  picking winners (overtly or covertly) is always a shortcut to

Sure, why not. We can do all of that. Not the challenge.

Will you get the ISWC organizers to accept *HTML*?

If I had such influence, of course :-)

That's what I would love to hear.

You heard it now.

The rest is really details. We can have 20 different machine readable
versions of the document if we want. Lets have 1 that's acceptable to
get things rolling!

Yes, but why do you think xhtml+rdfa is the one? My point is that we
don't know "the one", because that shouldn't matter in a world of URIs
and RDF based Linked Data :-)

You are right!

I was proposing (X)HTML(+RDFa) because that's arguably most common and simple enough to carry forward.

I doubt it is. I even doubt its broad use.

By having the accompanying CSS which follows the widely used presentations, it is fairly on an equal footing with the currently dominant format. It keeps reviewers happy since the "papers" are fairly consistent.

If we are willing to hack around getting structured data in and out of PDF, I'm sure we can run circles around that via HTML+Whatever.

I would hope so, and that's vital.

I just didn't want us to get lost in those possibilities and missing the main mark :)

So you have negate the inadvertent introduction of new hurdles :-)
