In a word, laziness. There is no process to follow for developing an RDF vocabulary (ironic), you can freely reuse existing vocabularies and tools, not write your own parsers, and trust that really smart people are figuring out the hard stuff for you (I believe the formal background of the Semantic Web is a long-term win). Or you might just want to, as Ben says “express metadata about other documents (embedded images)” which is trivial for RDF as images have URIs.

Ignore that it looks like CSS and contains the text 'inline' and 'address'. It could be C code rendered in HTML. Using CSS code as the example is probably needlessly confusing.

But, at Block of Code slide, I've enclosed <code>address</code>, <code>inline</code> and <code>normal</code> (within the pagragraf tag) with the <code>code</code> tag. I know that the proposal there, is: <code>pre</code> and <code>code</code> combined. I would appreciate an explanation to my mistake! Thanks.
