I wouldn't worry too much about the various solutions in each case -- a list of solutions can never be complete, and people will never agree on what consists a pro and a con. What would be useful, though, is an example of how RDFa is expected to solve the problem, e.g. with sample markup showing how the relevant data might be encoded and code snippets showing how the data would then be processed; and a discussion of ways to deal with the likely problems (e.g., for this particular use case: how to deal with authors screwing up and encoding bad data, how to deal with apathy from sites that you want to scrape data from, how to deal with malicious authors encoding misleading data, how to deal with spammers, how to deal with requirements like Amazon's desire to track per-developer usage, how to enable monetization for producers who are intentionally obfuscating the data today, etc. I expect other use cases will have different problems). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
