RDF reification and lists do *work* in RDFa, they're just a bit of a
pain to mark up.
e.g. here's a reification:
<div xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:db="http://dbpedia.org/resource/"
typeof="rdf:Statement">
<span property="dc:creator">Mark Birkbeck</span> says that
<span rel="rdf:subject" resource="[db:Sky]">the sky</span>
<span rel="rdf:predicate" resource="http://dbpedia.org/property/color"
>is</span>
<span rel="rdf:object" resource="[db:Blue]">blue</span>.
</div>
And an example of a list can be found here:
