RE: Stopped struggling, now merely puzzled

You are right that in terms of something like a triple store, there is 
little to choose between your syntax and mine. However, the advantage of 
leaving the metadata near the text that it relates to, is that a smart 
browser could do something clever with it, without having to have a 
built in triple store. For example, in this illustration moving the 
mouse over the words "Prime Minister" could show a picture of Winston 
Churchill, or a link to some text about him. The types of things I was 
thinking of would be that using this URI and some knowledge of the 
document user, you could show one set of text or links to a school kid, 
another lot of information to a post-graduate, and a further set to a 
journalist.
