The problems with microdata have been addressed before by others, I'm not going to spend the time going into them yet again. But let's stop this pretense that there are two proposals of equal value on the table. While RDFa was getting adoption and traction, you pulled microdata out of thin air, with no community development, because of some dubious claims regarding RDFa (claims that, as we're showing progressively, are very easily addressed). Meanwhile, RDFa has been deployed by Yahoo, Google, the UK government, Creative Commons, the US government, Slideshare, and many more. It's time to standardize what a number of players clearly already want. -Ben
