same story all the time.. all seem to ignore this basic issue: if we
are to do some sort of non trivial deduction we need multiple systems
to be ON and working at the same time on the web

this simply cannot be  so something happens, an obvious solution is
fall back (Transparently painlessly) to someone who has the love to
actually provide a service for free and it would simply work.

... then the "hippie scientist" in all of us jumps up with crazy
proposals about a new a nd different world where HTTP and google will
be substituted by .. p2p, quantum entaglements or whatever..

then the discussion gets boring and back to point one "lets pretend
the problem doesnt exist"

the look will only stop when somebody actually begins making something
useful with semantic web data, in which case they'll simply use the
transparent fallback solution

:-) am i growing too old ?
