Thanks James, let me also draw attention on another comparison (for microdata et al):
www.w3.org/TR/html-data-guide/ In my view, the choice between RDFa and microdata should be based on what type of vocabulary the project will use. If the vocabularies are very very simple and we would, essentially, use a single vocabulary per page (or only a few) than the choice between microdata and RDFa 1.1 Lite becomes a question of taste in my view, they are comparable in complexity and expressive power. If the vocabulary becomes more complex, if we want to refer to and use several external vocabularies within the same page, then I would find RDFa 1.1 a better choice. Bottom line: this decision can wait:-) The problem with microformats is that we would have to define a bunch of vocabularies ourselves or map them to microformats even if those vocabularies exist already (eg, Dublin Core). An the mapping 'back' of the same pages into, say, RDF, becomes problematic again...
