Yes, if you are ready to do the work. The trouble with the principle I 
espouse is that it requires a lot more work than most developers are 
ready to put it. For instance, we have done the work (eons ago) re. 
handling RDFa in text/html (esp. with showcased by our handling 
publishers of GoodRelations based offers embedded in HTML), and from 
that work we've also experienced (first hand) all the pain associated 
with using text/html with RDFa (which is xhtml).

To be more specific about your point, the answer is a resounding yes, if 
a developer can do the work and maintain the code etc.

Also note, the same principle applies to "choice" as in treating: 
Microformats, Microdata, and RDFa as options for embedding "mirrored 
claims" graphs in HTML. As I've stated repeatedly, there's no excuse for 
this matter to be prolonged since it only has adverse effects on WebID 
with regards to consumer/commodity publishers that want to leverage "cut 
and paste" oriented workflows re. publication of HTML based info cards 
mirroring claims held in local key stores, in line with the WebID 
verification protocol.

Also note my comments above, subtle but very important re., clarity . As 
the spec stands it's compatible with the notion of Microformats, 
Microdata, and RDFa as options, mechanically (since verifiers have to 
transform payload to RDF), so not giving them equal status in the spec 
adds confusion.

HTML is going to be the preferred format for publishing claims mirrors, 
so why not have the spec accept the 3 options that best serve this 
approach.
