I wasn't comparing microformats and RDFa. I was comparing RDFa and 
vcard. There were thousands, maybe millions, of real-world vcards to 
look at when developing the hcard microformat. Where is the existing 
RDFa data you would like incorporated into future microformat 
development? Can you provide some URLs where RDFa is being published 
currently? If so, you should add them to the relevant *-examples 
pages on the wiki. If not, RDFa is not yet a real-world publishing 
concern, making it beyond the scope of microformats. See:
http://microformats.org/about/
Specifically: "adapted to current behaviors." As far as I can tell, 
RDFa is not a current behavior so what you're suggesting is that 
microformats should be adapted to future behaviors.
Peace,
Scott
