Not sure. This requirement originally came form Daniel O'Connor in a blog
comment here:
http://realtech.burningbird.net/semantic-web/semantic-markup/stop-justifying-rdfa
...where he said:
Reasons for RDFa in HTML:
[...]
* I want to provide a machine readable interpretation of my data
* I do not want to write XSLT, or server side code to transform my data
if I don't have to
My interpretation is that it means that he would like to not have to use
XSLT to do anything with the data, whether extracting it or analysing it
or anything.
