Semantic markup for the web was on the roadmap back when XHTML was worked on, but I'm not sure it ever had a chance of adoption because the use cases for the web were (and are) infinite.
Semantic web (RDFa), OTOH, can assert logical properties for arbitrary pieces of markup text; in particular, it's not necessary to use a "semantic" markup style (such as eg. DocBook).
