RE: Why not XHTML+RDF? was Re: Links are links

Here is a counter opinion (naturally).

HTML is the hypertext vocabulary for the web.
XHTML has hopes but so far, given what we use 
to create and maintain it, dim ones.  In other 
words, there just aren't substantial advantages 
to XHTML.  

HTML is here to stay.  As a result of the 
shortsightedness of that design, the evolution 
of the web is frankly, paralyzed.  Trying to 
push RDF into the gap has about a 80/20 chance.

(2) the fact that XHTML, *the* hypertext vocabulary for the web, isn't going to use
XLink kills it. Dead. Finito. The proverbial cherubic soprano has
begun her song.

But that's just an opinion.
