It looks to me like Tab's Change Proposal to keep Microdata has six  
major points in the Rationale section, only one of which cites RDFa.  
It is fair game, of course, to question the strength of that point or  
of any of the five other points.

(For comparison, Manu's Change Proposal to split Microdata has seven  
points, six of which cite RDFa.)
