No I don't, and I never will! That's from someone who leaves and 
breathes RDF, Linked Data, Databases for a living. I don't speculate, I 
get stuff made!


The Web is an all encompassing and tolerant medium. In its architectural 
dexterity lies the reality that we are all individuals for a specific 
reason i.e., in cognitive prowess lies the ability to see the same thing 
differently.  In my eyes, heterogeneity is the spice of life, a critical 
virtue reflected in the Web's architecture.
