+0.8: I don't think we should force the HTML to have some RDFa. We 
should give the option to use content-type negotiation to return RDF/XML 
if the HTML doesn't contain any RDFa.


[[
A Verification Agent MUST be able to process documents in RDF/XML and 
XHTML+RDFa. A server responding to a WebID Profile request SHOULD 
support HTTP content negotiation. The server MUST return a 
representation in RDF/XML for media type application/rdf+xml. If the 
server does not support media type application/rdf+xml, it MUST return a 
representation in XHTML+RDFa for media type text/html or media type 
application/xhtml+xml. When requesting a WebID Profile document, a 
Verification Agent MUST request media type application/rdf+xml with a 
higher preference order than text/html or application/xhtml+xml.
Verification Agents and Identification Agents MAY support any other RDF
format via HTTP content negotiation.

Before "If the server does not support...", we could add "The server 
SHOULD return a representation in XHTML+RDFa for media type text/html or 
media type application/xhtml+xml."


Best wishes,
