The answer is: I don't know a URI that, as of today, already appears in 
Yahoo with more details based on RDFa mark-up, but that will change very 
soon.
If Peter has one, I would be happy to kearn of it, of course.

Note that

-  is was only something like five weeks ago that Yahoo officially 
activated the enhanced display functionality and
- that the current re-crawling/update cycles at all major search engines 
are in the order of magnitude of 2 - 8 weeks, depending on your page 
popularity.

Since most early adopters are not among the pages with the highest 
page-rank, it is quite natural that it will take a few weeks or months 
to see the real impact of this innovation.

I personally think that

http://www.heppnetz.de/searchmonkey/product.html

will be among the first pages to showcase the effect, because it was one 
of the first pages with proper mark-up that went online (and still it 
took me a few hits to get the mark-up fully Yahoo-compliant).

As a side comment: I am reading a bit of impatience from in between the 
lines of your message.

After more than 100 Mio euro of European and US research funding, eight 
years of research, and a large share of all academic papers in the field 
with rather limited impact, it would be pretty unfair by anyone from the 
core Semantic Web research cohort to be impatient over delays in the 
order of magnitude of weeks with Yahoo SearchMonkey or GoodRelations to 
deliver.
