The reason I say that creating triples is not the goal itself is that

RDF-ness without any trouble, so we don't need to labour that. And any
non-RDF aware author does not need to be distracted by it. For authors
then, the goal is marking up their metadata in a way that makes it
usable by other applications--interpreting that mark-up as RDF is
essentially step 2.
Just to expand on this thought.... that's actually brilliant Mark. What
an author is doing via RDFa is easily adding machine processable
semantics. The fact that it happens to be "RDF" is a happy
coincidence. Seriously.... who cares that it is RDF (in the primer)?
The real story is the ready realization of the semantic web.
"RDFa Primer - Semantic Web made Easy"
Now there's a title for you.
