Yes.

The 'server-side stuff' is called Ivan Herman (you should keep away from that guy, though:-).

More seriously: when I publish sw stuff there, I do it as follows:

- create an XX.var file 'branching' to specific content types with priorities. I typically have text/html, application/rdf+xml (with a qs value of 0.4) and text/turtle (with qs 0.5)
- create an XX.html file in RDFa+HTML
- automatically generate (off-line, to avoid server load) the turtle and rdf/xml files from those

The result is a content negotiation on the www.w3.org/ns/XX URI.

Adding JSON is fine, though it would probably not be done automatically (my distiller, that I use locally, does not have a JSON mapping option from RDFa...). But, of course, manually is also fine.

On the other hand... there is no other machinery in place. Ie, adding some scripting type stuff become much more complicated...
