Emphasising that RDFa builds on <meta> and <link> is for other reasons prudent, I think. By establishing historical continuity, and reminding people of this, we show that RDFa brings together two long separated areas of W3C work. This is good for teaching RDFa, good for trust from users who'll feel their investment in our older specs was worthwhile, and perhaps might even help establish RDFa's position in the wider jumble of HTML-based languages floating around W3C.
