Personally I agree with David Booth's assertions that, if I understood correctly, whoever attempted to broaden the definition of 'Linked Data' beyond RDF is responsible for any subsequent confusion. Rather they should have minted their own term (like 'NoLinkedData' maybe, as in 'Not-Only Linked Data' :) !).
