Liddy,
I agree about the usefulness of RDFa! It's a new spec, so we're still
waiting for publishing tools etc to implement it.
I've seen a lot of discussion on W3C lists on HTML5 and RDFa, and I
think there are many working on making that combination work.
There's also been lots of discussion about WAI-ARIA,
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/aria/ , which you probably want to look at even
though I'm certainly no expert in the area.
