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."
