Correct, I am not disagreeing with what Schema.org is, or where its 
focus lies [1].

I do disagree with your "theoretically nice abstractions" 
characterization since that isn't really accurate, bearing in mind the 
global use and impact of the World Wide Web. Anyway,  that's a topic of 
debate for a different forum, should you want to pick that up.

I don't know how to reply the above, because I have no intention of 
starting a long debate, in the wrong forum. All I can say is this, "one 
size doesn't fit all" i.e., that might be true for your experience, but 
not for everyone else.

As I said, there's nothing wrong with basic Linked Data [2] or Linked 
Open Data [3] . That doesn't render RDF based Linked Open Data [4] useless.

I continue to try to encourage everyone to see AWWW (Architecture of the 
World Wide Web) as a "mutually inclusive" as opposed to a "mutually 
exclusive" affair. We have puzzle pieces that can be *subjectively* 
linked en route to creating different kinds of Webs.
