Markdown with RDFa on the side will suit quite nicely, thanks to pandoc.
Actually, you can embed the RDFa within the markdown files if you like.
<div property="x:section">
# Introduction
Test. </div>
Pandoc will just pass it on to the output XHTML (though throw it out for the context). But it's admittedly a little awkward to have to wrap the markdown with XHTML every time to want to add a triple.
Probably the biggest barrier for semanticality so far has been what a struggle it is to incorporate into a fluid workflow. For instance yes that is a pain to mix the markup and RDFa, but even more so if you are coding straight XHTML (though visually it would look a bit less awkward, XHTML is already so verbose that adding in the semanticality feels annoyingly burdensome.) If only markdown had some syntax for it, like |x:test # Introduction |x:section Test. || Wishful thinking. Cheers, John C. Haltiwanger
