Re: best practice RDF in HTML

If I understand correctly, the problem is to embed an RDF "island" in
an HTML document, to be managed by a (presumably RDF clueless) CMS.

How about following the approach described in the W3C "Microdata to
RDF: Transformation from HTML+Microdata to RDF" working draft
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-microdata-rdf-20120112/>

There are a number of examples in that draft which seem compatible
with the problem statement, including embedded JSON (that can be
easily extracted and consumed as RDF)
