Solutions to technical problems are not for little kids, grandmothers 
and casual Web users. Getting a Web page on the Web is actually really 
complex, you have to do a lot of stuff with the header, maybe 
content-negociate etc. Yet, little kids and grandmothers can jump from 
webpages to webpages.

Yep, implement the HTTP header stuff in the RDFa editor and it becomes 
as simple as web browsing 101.

The complexity of a technical solution has really nothing to do with the 
difficulty of using the solution. Don't worry Gio, this technicality (if 
it's ever implemented) won't make Sindice and Sig.ma less user-friendly ;)
