I never said any of that, but interestingly I did agree with you in the other thread that stylesheets have a lot of value. All I said was that RDF provides a way to say that resource X has relationship Y to resource Z. We don't need DTDs, stylesheets or especially new RDF vocabularies to express such a relationship statement. We do need a usable RDF syntax. Of the various alternatives, I certainly won't defend RDF/XML, and I look forward to the results of the current work on expressing RDF in XHTML. I guess my ultimate opinion is that we should wait and see how that works out before starting any new W3C linking standards or trying to rewrite XLink. Bob
