Yes I remember seeing those. Still, the examples and instructions at
schema.org are all in Microdata. And, as you point out, the
GoodRelations says Microdata *and* RDFa. It's not like schema.org

Very good to hear. Still, I don't think this support for both means
people should make it sound like the US government supports one over
