Okay, I think that answers my question from last post :-)

I would say "deceptively simple" . Basically, there are complexities to 
AWWW, but never hitting you at the front door re. initial engagement. 
The great thing about "deceptively simple" is that this kind of systems 
architecture ultimately delivers pleasant surprises. This is also why 
turning RDF into a Linked Data distraction sets me off, big time! The 
AWWW at its core already had the mechanism for Linked Data via use of 
hyperlinks for whole data representation built in.
