RDF/A Primer 1.0

I hadn't yet been aware of this W3C activity to standartize RDF embedding in XHTML (complete syntax is here). Looks nice and simple:

either <a rel="foaf:mbox" href="mailto:jo.lambda@example.org">email 
me</a>
Its not rocket science and not really a very new idea (for example this paper from 1999 describes something similar). But it would be great to have a standard on this stuff.
