Uh... I don't see how this sort of "critique" is any more substantive or helpful than overwrought hype. Your first sentence is pretty much a non-sequitur. But anyway. I'm *always* suspicious of facile explanations of why a certain technology is accepted or not. There are a lot of complex, non-technical factors involved. (By way of refutation to your bromide about complexity and users, I'll point out that XML schema is definitely more complex than OWL (by many measures, including computational complexity) and more widely used. So, eh.) Cheers, Bijan.
