Gerardo, all, I have not read the articles yet, but just a side note. One of the public faces of Schema.org is Dan Brickley, with whom I/we have excellent personal as well as professional contacts (he is co-chairing another Working Group where I am the staff contact). If necessary/important, I can invite him to one of our meetings to give us the schema.org perspective.
