Ok then just thinking "way out of the box"

I have updated http://weborganics.co.uk/demo/hcal.xhtml

to use the example above, but instead of using @property It uses @class 
with @content (valid xhtml this time)

<div class="vevent">
 <h3 class="summary">Have I Got Old News For You</h3>
 <p class="location">BBC2</p>
 <p><span class="dtstart" content="2008-06-28T21:00:00">Saturday 28 June,
    9</span>-<span class="dtend" 
content="2008-06-28T21:30:00">9.30pm</span></p>
 <p class="description">Team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop
    are joined by returning guest host Jeremy Clarkson and
    panellists Danny Baker and Germaine Greer for the
    topical news quiz. <abbr title="in stereo">[S]</abbr></p>
</div>

here is the iCal export 
http://transformr.co.uk/hcalendar/http://weborganics.co.uk/demo/hcal.xhtml
here is the RDF output 
http://transformr.co.uk/hcalendar-rdf/http://weborganics.co.uk/demo/hcal.xhtml 


there really wasn't any need to use @property It made sense just to use 
@content  so really all we are talking about is "squatting" in one RDFa 
property..

Thanks for all your help

Best Wishes
