Giovani,
When you say "the rest of the web", this issue is specifically one
with Facebook Open Graph Protocol, which i a new development.
When you look at the triples
http://inspector.sindice.com/inspect?url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/antonio_banderas/#TRIPLES
(Nice view)
the you get many triples about the page, like
<http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/antonio_banderas/> <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab#stylesheet> <http://images.rottentomatoescdn.com/files/inc_beta/css/2.0.0/header_v2.css?v=glo20101121> .
This clearly is about the document.
(I don' think it is very interesting as data, so defining it to be part of the
RDF triples of a document without the alternative of a more constrained set
is another issue.)
The ones which are from the OGP are like
<http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/antonio_banderas/> <http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/type> "actor" .
There are of course various ways of mapping this to what you and
would have probably coded up.
1) One way if to just recognize that the
predicates in the OGP are relations to the page.
{ ?page fb:image ?x. ?page foaf:primarySubject ?y } => { ?y foaf:image ?x }.
and that is not the end of the world.
But it is consistent.
2) There is another way, and that is to make a new RDFA syntax really easy to
add triples specifically about the subject of the page.
Note that the 303/208 issue is separate to this. This OGP problem remains if you use 208 or 200)

No, absolutely horrible.
A total disaster IMHO.
Think how many properties of a library catalog card and a book both have.
What do you do with these triples
<> a Book.
<> a CardCatalog.
<> creator people:AGEdelan3.
<> creator people:HSWhite23.
<> length 1052.
<> length 105675.
That way lies madness.
