Which actually makes me think that defining the RDFa processing on the DOM explicitly as a separate document might make sense (I think that is what already happens implicitly in the current document). As far as I can understand, the HTML5 document describe (or will describe) how an HTML5 document is mapped on the DOM; by defining RDFa on the DOM only this may make the grand unification of RDFa with both XHTML and HTML5 easier... I did not really thought through this in details, so there might be flaws. It is just an idea while commuting to CWI...
