Looking for something like foaf:img that defines a representation of an organisation...a kind of foaf:avatar. Raised question on FOAF list.

markbirbeck Don't get me wrong...I love Google spam filtering. But what does it take to filter out "MICROSOFT WINNING NOTIFICATION"?
markbirbeck Not very helpful that people entitle their blog posts things like "RDFa vs. Microformats". Say "there's a war" enough, and there will be.
markbirbeck @wnalyd There's no accessibility problem with RDFa. In fact, same people also produced @role, which is used in ARIA...for accessibility.
markbirbeck Excited at @quech's designs for our semantic desktop app, based on @swviewer. (We submitted idea to TechCrunch50 as a way to galvanise us!)
markbirbeck Added blog post this morning about the BBC's decision to stop using hCalendar, and look at RDFa: http://is.gd/EMN
markbirbeck @emacsen Not sure what an "RDFa-enabled iCal parser" would be. :) Can you explain?
markbirbeck RDFa is now a candiate recommendation. First story on the W3C home page.
markbirbeck @ebruchez Yes...I wouldn't connect to someone else's computer. :) But this is different, I think. See: http://is.gd/vLD
markbirbeck @Nico_Macdonald Got messages. Sorry for not replying, but in Amsterdam for 2 day conf. Back this evening, and will then sort things out.
markbirbeck XHTML 2 Working Group just voted that latest draft of the RDFa Syntax document (http://is.gd/v6L) is ready to take to CR. Great news...
markbirbeck @jdeisenberg @dpawson We've also launched an Ajax/XForms processor: http://is.gd/uYY It's a joint project between us & IBM. (Also Apache 2)
markbirbeck @jdeisenberg @dpawson C++ XForms processor: http://is.gd/uZ1 IE/Windows-specific wrapper for it: http://is.gd/uZ3 (both Apache 2.0)
markbirbeck Details on the BBC's 'Media Futures' Conference are now available: http://is.gd/tLY Places are limited, and going fast.
markbirbeck @neuraxon77 For some reason the video doesn't display in FF, but images do. All is ok in Safari and IE.
markbirbeck @neuraxon77 Reminds me of some ideas I was playing with for 'compact HTML', to aid embedding images and videos in Tweets: http://is.gd/pJy
markbirbeck @edd And RDF and extensibility are at centre of @role. I guess it's mark of success that when others use it they think they invented it. :)
markbirbeck @edd Saw your comments on ARIA, RDF, etc. Irony is that ARIA isbuilt on work by me and others on @role. No-one conceived of it before that.
markbirbeck My tech talk at Google last week is now online: http://is.gd/otC Includes description of RDFa, and rich UI demos (they're 20 minutes in).
markbirbeck Just uploaded my #kingsofcode talk, on web languages (XForms, RDFa, etc.) as source of 'hooks' for unobtrusive JavaScript : http://is.gd/nPp
