Now it's RDF vs Microformats

Thought some of you might like to comment on this [1]. I'm going to write a
post addressing the same topic but to counter Sam's misunderstanding and his
failure to understand that Microformats is (part of) the Semantic Web -
addressing approximately 1% (+- 1% ;)) of the Semantic Web potential and
using an extremely good hacked method that's not based on standards.

Ok now that I've said it without thinking properly (which can be a good
thing), what do you think about my use of the word hacked (I won't quote
you). 

I met David Recordon [2] last night and talked about OpenID and how to get
FOAF into the mix. This is something I've chatted (briefly) about with
Philip Hallam-Baker and Dan Brickley, who have the same view. I'd like to
push this conversation if anyone here is interested in helping to make it a
reality and not just a conversation.

I'll use my talk tonight [3] as an opportunity to spell out the problems
with the comparison above.
