I will listen to Elias demo today. Maybe it gets clear to me why this is required. However, I don't intend to become a SC member.

The string "Jane > Doe" is just a label (not per se metadata). Let's see if I did understand that. You have Jane Doe's vCard somewhere. And the two attributes meta:property and meta:resource do not specify metadata by themselves, but "duplicate" them to get a link to the vCard entry? > > This is what I think Elias means by the in-context metadata idea. It's > similar to your description of fields. Maybe. But your example is slightly different than that of Elias. However, I think we should postpone our discussion until the SC call. Michael
