Hm. I see that sometimes you need the have XMLLiterals. However... I can
imagine that the meta element could also be used as some sort of an
escape mechanism to add more complex RDF statements when the core RDFa
becomes a bit awkward (e.g., involving lots of blank nodes, lists, etc).
I would then like to see something like

<meta>
  <rdf:RDF .....>
 ... usual RDF/XML here ...
  </rdf:RDF>
</meta>

This could also be important to use copy/paste for additional materials
like, for example, CC statements that I would simply copy from my older
materials...

Well, do we want that?
