The main reason why I don't default to the machine-readable representation (no doubt that would be useful for people writing semweb applications) is that the large majority of resources does not have a machine readable representation, and web pages happen to be the greatest common denominator.Received on Tuesday, 10 July 2007 17:52:29 GMT
