I don't see how. First, I don't think it's possible to 'stray' into GRDDL...you really have to want to go there! Second, the mappings I've been describing are specifically of predicate/object couplets. For example: <title> => dc:title @alt => rdfs:label or whatever. GRDDL proposes completely transforming a document that has no relationship to RDF into one that does. (I'm not proposing these mappings -- as I've said, RDFa Core should not be defining these. I'm just illustrating the simple level of mapping that is needed to get from host language to RDF.) By the way, I figured I could trim the CC list since your one-liner didn't seem to be either a question or a reasoned argument.
