Open source validator/scraper for new schema.org metadata & HTML5 more generally

Schema.org has its faults, but at least there is now a fairly significant standard for expressing metadata within HTML. As Bing & Google are behind it, there will be adoption. HTML5 has a large number of new attributes that are quite semantically rich. However, tools built for an earlier era don't know about them.

Developers would like to know that their content is being expressed well.
Data wranglers would like to pull structured data from pages.

To support this, we could build a validation and/or a scraper that knows what to do with this content.
