Google has just changed the wording of the documentation:

The mentioning of cloaking risk is removed. While this is not final
clearance,
it is a nice sign that our concerns are heard.
Great work!
Doing the right thing is what matters, and I do believe that Google (as
they've just demonstrated), Yahoo! etc. all want to make the Web a
better and smarter place etc. :-)

Dear all:
Fyi - I am in contact with Google as for the clarification of what
kind of empty div/span elements are considered acceptable in the
context of RDFa. It may take a few days to get an official statement.
Just so that you know it is being taken care of...

Hi Martin,
b) download RDFa snippet that just represents the RDF/XML content
(i.e. such
that it does not have to be consolidated with the "presentation
level" part
of the Web page.
By coincidence, I just read this:
Hidden div's -- don't do it!
It can be tempting to add all the content relevant for a rich snippet
in one place on the page, mark it up, and then hide the entire block
of text using CSS or other techniques. Don't do this! Mark up the
content where it already exists. Google will not show content from
hidden div's in Rich Snippets, and worse, this can be considered
cloaking by Google's spam detection systems. [1]
