Note in the RDFa below:

   <span property="gr:hasCurrencyValue">99.99</span>

is an parsed as an untyped literal in RDFa. If you intended it to be xsd:float, you'd need to mark it up as follows:

   <span property="gr:hasCurrencyValue" datatype="xsd:float">99.99</span>

Of course, it's common to not do this and have the processor create untyped literals and have the application coerce this based on it's domain knowledge. My point was that Microdata and RDFa are really no different in this matter, unless an @datatype attribute is specified.
