xtech?

[Bruce D'Arcus <bruce.darcus@OpenDocument.us>]

Anyone going to xtech?  There are a number of talks that might be very 
relevant to the work here:

<http://xtech06.usefulinc.com/schedule/detail/189> *
<http://xtech06.usefulinc.com/schedule/detail/58>

The former is a general overview of XHTML 2 (including metadata), and 
the latter a more focused look at RDF/A (by someone who's also 
presenting on XForms). The latter abstract included a note that I 
hadn't been aware of:

> A major motivation of the proposal was to have a syntax that was 
> simpler than RDF/XML, and could be incorporated into any XML language, 
> not just XHTML.

Makes sense; RDF/A is just handful of attributes, and a convention for 
using them.

Also, Leigh Dodds is doing something on SPARQL:

Wish I was going!
