This was a "street level" view, not a view from the "Ivory Tower".

Who, Where? is the top representative from the W3C in the html5/xhtml5
process.
Marketing RDFa? Get someone to lead the effort in the html5/xhtml5
battle before it is over.
This is not a battle. Battles kill people. It is a dispute amongst
technologists who have varying assumptions, backgrounds, collaboration
networks and agendas, and who are slowly learning to see each other's
perspective.
Please (and I am very serious here) stop using such bloody metaphors
to describe what should be a civil and mutually respectful
collaborative process. You will not improve anything if you foster
this kind of perspective on our shared problems. Battle talk results
in a battle mindset. I do not want to hear any RDFa advocates talking
in such terms.
Really, enough with the battle stuff. Go find someone who works on
HTML5 and be nice to them, find common ground, try out their tools.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
