I think we could revisit this forever. The last call comment was that
"instanceof" was too similar to "instance" from XForms, and since they
were in the same namespace and markup languages sometimes, we needed to
avoid this similarity. We have addressed that last call comment.
Personally, I think the name of the attribute is meaningless. Could be
"bagel" for all I care. At this point we need to stick with the
decision and move on. Otherwise we are going to thrash on this (to my
mind) meaningless issue when we have MUCH larger fish to fry.

Hello,
is it only me (and Ralph it seems in the minutes) who find @typeof
directionally wrong? Why not @oftype or @hastype?
A superficial reading make it seem as "instance" was replaced by its
exact inverse: "type", which obviously cannot mean the same thing. Or
am I just misinterpreting how @typeof should be read?
(Part of the thinking of "instanceof" was based on the N3 shorthand
"is ... of", which is N3:s version of @rev. N3 also has "has" as
syntax sugar for e.g. '<#me> has foaf:name "Niklas".', why I suggested
@hastype last year [1]. Along with @a. ;) )
Best regards,
Niklas

Is it too late? or did it get rejected at one of the meetings?

As per my action item earlier today, I have updated the editors draft to
reflect the resolution that the name @instanceof be changed to @typeof. I
have also updated the DTD. Note that until implementations and the test
cases are updated, things will not validate!
Draft is at http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2008/ED-rdfa-syntax-20080403/
