Status: Fixed

Change Description: 

Added new Document conformance requirement:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/rdfa/drafts/ED-rdfa-in-html-20100502/#document-conformance

"All HTML5 elements and attributes must be used in a way that is conformant
with [HTML5]. All RDFa attributes must be used in a way that is conformant with
[RDFA-CORE] and this document."

Rationale:

Submitter is correct, we should make it clear that authors SHOULD use the
combination of HTML5 and RDFa attributes for the purposes for which they were
intended. I stopped short of stating MUST because if we would've made this
requirement on the class="" attribute, Microformats would have been a
non-conforming use of HTML4.
