Yes, despite our validation errors--and, indeed, the fact that we're 
XHTML transitional, for which there's no RDFa DTD--Yahoo! 
SearchMonkey does a good job of parsing our RDFa.  (Thank goodness!)

As I understand it, SearchMonkey builds up a DOM much like a web 
browser does.  Since RDFa is defined in terms of the DOM, that 
approach allows tools like SearchMonkey to be tolerant of certain 
problems.  For all I know, SearchMonkey is using Mozilla or WebKit or 
something to build its DOM.

If you set up a SearchMonkey data source using Digg story pages, the 
SearchMonkey authoring system will let you drill down into the RDFa.
