On the topic of vocabulary design, the picky category: What is the best attribute name for "referencing" URLs? href or src? Among common W3C vocabularies I see no pattern in the choice of names. For example, XInclude uses @href, but XHTML's script element uses src. What makes a Javascript a "source" while excluding an XML document, which is inserted into another, from the "source" definition? A search for "define: href" on google says it's a Hypertext Reference. Isn't the content of a src element that too? This is the answer: 1) There's no pattern, it's all random; 2) Frans should go do something useful. Right? Cheers, Frans
