hAudio RDFa music blog demo for SWD F2F

An additional demo proposal for the SWD F2F has been released. This demo
builds upon the Firefox+Operator+RDFa+hAudio stuff posted last week:

http://wiki.digitalbazaar.com/en/Firefox_Operator_Extensions

The new demo proposal uses a popular music blog, Scissorkick, and adds
hAudio RDFa markup to the entire page without modifying the physical
content of the page (the only thing added was hAudio RDFa markup). The
demo can be found here:

http://wiki.digitalbazaar.com/demos/scissorkick/scissorkick.html

The Scissorkick demo expresses the following:

 - It is a real-world, fully-functional example of hAudio RDFa markup in
   a music blog.
 - The only modifications to the site were those needed to add the
   RDFa aspects to the page.
 - Information that was difficult to grok from the page (such as the
   name of the album, or MP3 download link) is much easier to understand
   via the Operator menus provided at the top of the browser.
 - If one wanted to write a triple-crawler, more information for the
   first album, Celldweller, could be found by sending the
   triple-crawler to the URL specified in the subject. In other words,
   the web browser could discover more triples about the album
   by following the subject URL.

The Bitmunk example demonstrated how a "Music Service" would use RDFa
and hAudio to express metadata. The Scissorkick example demonstrates how
a "Music Blogger" would use RDFa and hAudio to express music metadata.

Feedback or suggestions on further refinements would be great :)
