In a sense, (some of) the RDF community are already leaning this way too, with proposals like GRDDL being developed to define standard ways for extracting RDF from data that's richly marked but not directly encoded in RDF/XML. But for the record, the fact that I have to embed RDF/XML in comments in XHTML still sucks." Danny Ayers: "Sure, there is still a way to go before RDF can be effectively lined up alongside doc-oriented XML. As Norm points out, RDF/XML is good for RDF core dumps. It's acceptable for interchange too. But handwritten? Well if you can comfortably handwrite TEI and DocBook, it shouldn't present much of a problem. But personally anything beyond a few lines of sample/test data, and I'm outta here." Dan Brickley: "Sometimes there are emergent properties of a set of sensible, well motivated decisions grounded in a whole load of subtle constraints.
