Either way, it isn't necessary. RDF has an additive approach. Parse
the doc as your processors can: RDFa (add them to the RDF model of the
document); GRDDL (add them to the model); microformats (add them to
the model). Some new approach (add them to the model). Limited
interpretation of the explicit data in the document is still useful,
in the same way it's possible for a monolingual human to make sense of
texts written in multiple languages, or even just containing pictures.

For example:
