Well, this works the same way Microformats work. You don't have:
<span class="property-value">
<span class="property">tel</span>
<span class="value">01632 790 123</span>
</span>
Instead, you have:
Whatever label the author wants:
<span class="tel">01632 790 123</span>
Putting the property names in human-readable text is not very nice
for internationalisation. "Tel" might not be understood very easily
on, say, a Korean web page.
That having been said, it *is* possible to use a concept called
"reification" to directly pick up on properties/relationships which
are expressed in the text of the document. It's not pretty though:
<div typeof="rdf:Statement">
<span rel="rdf:subject" resource="#jane">
<span property="foaf:name">Jane</span>
</span>
<span rel="rdf:predicate">
<span property="rdfs:label">loves</span>
</span>
<span rel="rdf:object" resource="#mac">
<span property="foaf:name">Mac</span>
</span>
</div>
