I mostly lurk here, but this post makes me come out of my cave.  There
was a brief discussion of this back in May, see [1].  The outcome of
the discussion was, as I recall, that there was no way of recognizing
it.  Being able to discover pages with RDFa content easily will be a
big help, IMHO, in getting RDFa off the ground.  Eventually, when
virtually *every* web page has RDFa content, it won't be necessary.
But we are far from there yet and need to help the early adopters.  Tim
