Thanks for sharing this. The only critique I could have is about the use
of DOAP, where there's a confusion between a project (community) and a
software (developped by that community) behind doap:Project, IMHO... but
that's a common problem with DOAP, that is counterweighted by its
popularity (perfect model vs. available data).

I was thinking of something maybe less "intrusive" : RDFa addition to
existing apps is maybe too hard, as requiring to change its code (in
particular as some (X)HTML may not convert so easily to XHTML+RDFa.

Anything in the domain of HTML headers maybe ? Such could more easily be
added by quick+dirty patches / sysadmin configuration.

Thanks in advance.
