[Sam Ruby]: hmm... not sure I’d heard concerns around data-* before

[Paul Cotton]: right; don’t expect the WG to be familiar with that.

[Tim Berners-Lee]: data-* competes with URI-based designs such as RDFa

[Sam Ruby]: odd... data-* is local to a page... i.e. to be consumed by js on the page, not by crawlers

[Tim Berners-Lee]: but once there’s lots of useful data-* data somewhere, crawlers will want to crawl

[Sam Ruby]: hmm... yes, I can see the inevitability of that. hmm.
