I disagree with this statement quite strongly. People won't write
XHTML+RDFa from scratch. They'll start with XHTML and sprinkle in RDFa
progressively.

They will add a hanging @rel, and if that suddenly forces them to
restructure large chunks of HTML because they can't include plain images
and links within that chunk, that reflects poorly on RDFa as a whole.
This has already happened with Creative Commons.

That's typically what happens with RDF/XML, btw. Adding a few properties
is easy, but then you start striping and it gets *really* messy, and
many people give up.
