I agree that HTML5 should include a mechanism to embed RDF, be it by a 
generic extension mechanism, or by adding specific vocabulary (such as 
RDFa).

Note that the WG is indeed chartered to consider that topic:

"The HTML WG is encouraged to provide a mechanism to permit 
independently developed vocabularies such as Internationalization Tag 
Set (ITS), Ruby, and RDFa to be mixed into HTML documents. Whether this 
occurs through the extensibility mechanism of XML, whether it is also 
allowed in the classic HTML serialization, and whether it uses the DTD 
and Schema modularization techniques, is for the HTML WG to determine."
