You can use XSLT or custom JavaScript to extract the relevant description
out of the data script into the HTML as you wish.

You really read the ccREL proposal? :)

We want DRY, so that human-rendered data and machine-readable data can
be kept in sync at all times. That goes to your point about unmaintained
metadata. Metadata is much more likely be maintained if it has a
user-visible component.

This is actually a principle that the microformats community touted
before we did, and we strongly agree with it.
