I am going to respond to just the first part of your comment.

The TAG has filed a Last Call comment and this comment has been filed against
both the RDFa and Microdata Last Call Working Drafts.  The WG Chairs intend on
processing these comments according to our WG Decision Policy.  This means the
bugs which have been assigned a Priority of P1 will be first processed by the
respective specification Editors and then will be subject to escalation as per
the Decision Policy.  

BTW, I see nothing in the TAG's comment that implies they intend to block these
drafts from going forward.  I suppose it is possible that the TAG might want to
file a Formal Objection if the HTML WG does not process these bugs to their
satisfaction but we are a long ways away from that stage.
