Agreed.

Good point, correct in principle but not sure how true this is in
practice. As long as it isn't horrifically ill-formed I think you can
manage to get RDFa into and out of non-XML HTML5. In other words I
think it fails gracefully and works in practice.

Aside: I think both RDFa and microthingies are only a bit better than
scraping because of the way they mix up data and presentation and are
both a lot less convenient than just publishing proper structured data
in RDF or XML or whatever. But... Something about tilling at
windmills...
