Hi Karen,

My guess is that the plugins support Microdata and RDFa while the hosted 
pyRDFa only supports RDFa.
The code example in your other email has attributes "itemscope" and 
"itemtype"; these are Microdata attributes.

RDFa defines "typeof" and uses "rel", "rev" and other attributes to 
encode RDF in HTML.

RDFa parsers treat stylesheet links in a special way as you have seen, 
just like they may include the page title as dc:title. (This is from the 
top of my head, everything can be found in the RDFa Primer [1] and Core 
specification [2].)
