If your publishing guidelines require validity against XHTML, then you might be able to use XHTML+RDFa, depending on how exacting your publishing guidelines are.

           Because it is not visible within a web page, it can be hard to tell whether HTML data has been written correctly. Consumers should provide validators that enable you to check that your data has been correctly detected and interpreted, but you may also want to consider tool support for generating the HTML data.
