There are a few important differences:

        * RDFa adds new attributes to XHTML -- my proposal doesn't.

        * RDFa uses namespaces to potentially "import" many different
          metadata schemes. Mine doesn't. The "dc:" prefix on certain
          class names should not be seen as a true namespace -- just a
          name prefix to avoid collisions.

        * Mine leverages existing microformats, such as hcard and geo.
          I'd also intended to include an example which leveraged
          hcalendar to describe the history of a particular object,
          but didn't have time to write it.
