I also share Manu Sporny's concerns expressed in [1]. I have followed the debate, the special task force results, and have extensively reviewed and used both RDFa and Microdata. As RDFa has already been approved by the W3C membership as a recommendation, we should not have two recommendations that cover the same area (annotations in HTML). RDFa lite works quite well to cover the uses of Microdata for consumers like schema.org. I've also implemented RDFa within the browser via Javascript [2] and found it to be a straight-forward technology to implement. Based on my knowledge of WebKit internals, browser vendors should be able to adapt their technologies to implement RDFa if they so desired. Meanwhile, we should focus our attention on how the proposed Microdata API and RDFa API could be merged to address scripting concerns.
