GRDDL is exactly suited to this example, no?

a) the structure in your example is concise
b) the structure in your example could be used for a wide variety of relationships
c) it may be unwise for RDFa V.n to pick a single semantics for nested lists

So, you write (or reuse someone else's) custom [GRDDL] transform
for this particular markup style.
