David,

I look forward to your input and contributions!

Do you mean you've had trouble parsing it? If you have any examples,
send them our way, we'll take a look.

Great! Take a look at the existing use cases:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-scenarios/

and the test suite:
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/RDFa/testsuite/

There's also a whole bunch of RDFa parsers:

Isn't 42 the answer? ;)

Kidding aside, the talking points vary *significantly* depending on the
audience, not surprisingly of course.

Is this a technical audience? Do they know about semantic web? Do they
loathe semantic web? Do they use/know about microformats? Do they write
HTML?

Happy to chat more about this.
