The main reason is that I wanted to avoid new syntax. The goal is to make it usable by existing HTML tools and frameworks. Documents with embedded RDF should validate normally. Secondly I wanted it to be backwards compatible with the rules for embedding Dublin Core in HTML which I think has quite a lot of existing usage on the web. I want those people to have an evolutionary path forwards rather than replacing their publishing systems wholesale for a new format.
