It seems that, as of right now, there is little to no support in HTML5 for semantic markup using RDFa or Microformats. I've done a little bit of reading, but if I were to start using HTML5 right now, what could I do to support semantic markup (such as microformats) and Semantic Web technologies (such as RDFa)? If I want to utilize these technologies now, should I stick with XHTML?

HTML Microdata (Draft)

Although it's a step in the right direction, this is no where near as rich as RDFa and the (somewhat) standardized microformats.

Actually, after seeing some examples (knowing the term "microdata" and searching for that in conjunction with HTML5 helped find some more information), it seems like that's very much along the lines of what I'm looking for. But I still have more reading to do.
