We are talking about putting semantics into a structured data source (by people who are trained in both the data format in particular and the tools to input data into it), why introduce another data format (out of context, I might add -- we're only talking about a single tag) which is much more likely to be adulterated by human input and the fallacies that come with being human? A semantic XHTML serialization of data is very different than ad-hoc usage of HTML for a local need. -Ross.
