As per my action item from last week, here are some thoughts on @src given the new chaining rules.
PROPOSAL: @src defines a subject, not an object. @about overrides @src in the same way that @resource overrides @href. Arguments: 0) Given that an image is inline, it would be quite odd not to be able to declare an @instanceof on that image using simply: <img src="foo.jpg" instanceof="foaf:Image" /> 1) Having three different ways to specify an object, @resource, @href, and @src is probably a sign of bad design. 2) Declaring a foaf:img is trivial with the new chaining rules, even when @src is the subject: <div about="#me" rel="foaf:img"> <img src="foo.jpg" instanceof="foaf:Image" /> </div> 3) Using @about to override @src allows for just the kinds of situations where the rendered does not quite match the semantic: e.g. you used a thumbnail picture but you want to declare a semantic relationship with the full-size image. 4) Ivan is happy :) Okay, I could come up with more, but I'll just say that, given the clean design of Mark's chaining rules, the @src-as-subject proposal just makes sense in my mind. -Ben
