Yes. Use [1] ...

My motto is: acting rather than talking. So, I took [2] as a starting point
- which is already in nice XHTML format - and manually added some RDFa.
After an hour I ended up with [1] (though, to be fair, two Wii games with
the kids and consuming some Easter eggs also took place in that hour).

So, [1] is really a sort of an interim solution (though, in the distributed
data world I do expect much more of such fixes) and I encourage Phil, who is
an editor of [2] to use the template from [1] at the 'official' location.

Happy Easter! (and back to Wii games, for now ;)

Cheers,
      Michael
