That's not true. HTML 5 is a language (abstract model) with two
serializations.
* HTML 5 as text/html
* HTML 5 as application/xhtml+xml
if you prefer it is exactly like RDF (the abstract model) and
different possible syntaxes (n3, XML, turtle)

You can use RDFa with the XML serialization of HTML 5 aka HTML5/xml
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/2007/ED-rdfa-syntax-20070927/#a_hostlanguages
The trouble is can we use RDFa in HTML 5 as is. The only way to find
out is to create test cases with RDFa constructs in an HTML document
and to see how for example Operator parses it.
You could also develop your own parser and sees if it creates troubles.
