Indeed, it does seem to be!  I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel, only 
illustrate what I was saying.  It's very hard to keep track of all the 
relevant technologies outside the WG that affect HTML5.

So my example would seem to become:

    Why not come along to <a href="http://www.themusicpark.co.uk/"
    property="lastfm:event" content="196939">Music Park 2007</a> in
    Brighton this June?

Or does this need to be enclosed in a tag with an @about attribute?
