Or have you had problems that can be solved by embedding data in a page so that scrapers/spiders/scripts/etc. can access it and associate it with human-visible content, and used RDF as a tool to encode that data and then RDFa as a tool to embed it? If the latter, then RDF isn't a requirement, it's just a tool. It may be a good tool, but that's beside the point for the moment. It's not a *necessary* tool required by the problem. If the former, then I'm interested in what this problem would look like! ~TJ
