...and providing a means to attach semantic meaning to concepts is extremely
powerful (and useful).  Let's figure out how to do it best, and make sure it
works properly.  Let's not "jump" to a solution 'cause it sounds good at the
time; this is what microformats did with the time issue and title attribute,
and it's broken in the wild, and HTML 5 is now trying to go in and fix it.
Let's learn from this and avoid those messes in the future.
