Yes, but it's also wrapped up in other proposed changes for @property, including using @data as an object attribute and use of <meta> and <link> in body content.

I haven't updated my distiller yet, but if you're up to installing the Ruby gem [2] yourself, it's fully implemented:

	gem install linkeddata
	git pull git://github.com/gkellogg/rdf-rdfa.git
	rdf-rdfa/script/parse --format ttl http://your-example-goes-here # or from stdin
