As an experiment, I took the hCard listed here:
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-examples#GEO_parsing
and made it into a well-formed XHTML document:
http://iandavis.com/2007/rdf-in-xhtml/sample-hcard.html
and copied the original vcard:
http://iandavis.com/2007/rdf-in-xhtml/sample.vcf
and hand-converted to the new vcard vocab:
http://iandavis.com/2007/rdf-in-xhtml/sample.ttl
Then I attempted to modify the hCard document to overlay/include RDFa,
the results of which are here:
http://iandavis.com/2007/rdf-in-xhtml/sample-hcard-and-rdfa.html
Outcome: I was pleasantly surprised at how few changes I needed to make.
I had to do some fiddling with about attributes on the URL and name
parts because of the original HTML structure. I think it should work but
I'd appreciate it if others could take a look. Also I'm not very sure
about the way organisation is expressed, using class, rel and property
on the same element.
Lots of positives. A few negatives still though. I'm unhappy with CURIEs
in general, the layering of namespace declarations and the XMLLiteral
default. I'll address those separately, this message is really about the
markup changes needed and the compatibility with existing metadata
embedding strategies.
