Jeni's Musings

I'm also hoping XProc materializes soon. In the mean time I'm (ab)using Ant too.

One other thought with adding RDFa to XHTML is that it could get awfully crowded in these documents when multiple applications are fighting for @property and @content attributes. I'm thinking it could be beneficial to be able to move such semantic markup in/out easily. ITS is not RDFa but is also for the most part an attributes language. It defines a way to add semantic markup using rule-sheets. Felix Sasaki wrote a paper where he describes the ITS approach to attach localization information to XML. Doing it in rule-sheets that are based on XPath reminds me a bit of the Schematron approach. With this approach you can probably push attributes (possibly RDFa) into XHTML.
