to Zhook
The <meta> tag is a nice simple solution to the metadata question, but
it seems like Zhook should have a metadata solution that supports some
additional features:
* Complex data: you know, at least support for newlines.
* Decorative attributes: eg, so that a date metadatum might have an
'event' attribute. The concern is that conversion of this from EPUB is
lossy:
<dc:date opf:event="ops-publication">2009-02-26</dc:date>
* Better support for Dublin Core, which seems to be 90% of ebook
metadata.
Currently considering RDFa — specifically, HTML+RDFa 1.1 — as an
additional, optional way of specifying ebook metadata in a Zhook file.
Feel free to contribute thoughts on this. I'll hold off adding it to
the spec until I need it for something.
