It all depends on the context. But if the w3c wants the 'web of linked 
data' to succeed at a faster pace they should go for a simple technology 
which is part of a primary spec such as HTML5.
I'd rather use simple, less time consuming, technology than complex, 
more time consuming, technology. Designers,Developers,Webmasters and 
teachers will probably make that same choice.

The success of linked-data is all about widespread usage of annotated 
data in projects authored by *people of all skill-levels*. If you think 
about that, which technology suits best ?
