Finally! Something I agree with! This is so absolutely true. If  
Semantic Web Services were supposed to be a car, then it has *failed  
utterly*. In fact, I think this should be christened Xuan's Law; and  
it generalizes too:

If {some technology} were supposed to be {some medium-sized dry  
good}, then that technology has failed utterly.

That's so totally true! What were we thinking?
