In my opinion, a street level view;

The likes of Ivan, Karl, Doug, many W3C others, are doing an outstanding 
job, thank you.

HTML 5, was created out of a deep pool of frustration, poor leadership 
from the top people at the W3C, nothing has changed.

Friends of XHTML, are seeing a train wreck, the same "old" W3C 
"hero-worshiped" "leadership" does nothing of any substance to join the 
battle. HTML 5 has won by default.

Who, Where? is the top representative from the W3C in the html5/xhtml5 
process.

Marketing RDFa?  Get someone to lead the effort in the html5/xhtml5 
battle before it is over.

RDFa, without a meaningful relationship with HTML 5, a bleak future?
