I think that makes you as much of a SemWeb fanatic as anybody I know 8-) But yes, absolutely agreed. I would also like to observe that RDF's mixin capabilities are perfectly suited to a forms language, since a form can reside in the same document that carries the the application data. This removes the need for treating the form as a representation of a separate resource, which provides additional simplicity (since a self-description constraint becomes easier to respect) to both the architecture and implementation (which is primarily why RDF Forms uses RDF).
