There is a plenty of XML data that could be turned into triples, but syncing and converting becomes a headache so people don't bother. I think that eRDF or another similar solution is already so close to Microformats that the jump is worth it. The Semantic Web community just has to make some tools which prove the point in a meaningful non-nerdy way.

I'm just trying to think of a better one. Ian Forrester has also produced a great graphic to illustrate exactly what is going on with this.
