RDF often comes in the form of RDFa, which doesn't have a separate media
type from that of the host language. There are also custom provisions
for RDF in OpenDocument and PDF as far as I understand.

But I agree that using a property to indicate non-RDF content might be
conflating things, as format is orthogonal to the role of the relation.

Maybe something like this could work:

 </foo> rdfs:seeAlso </bar> .
 </bar>
  a see:HumanReadableOnlyDescription ;
  dcterms:format <http://example.net/text/html> .
