If that's the case, then why do we use hcalendar on the home page? And why  
publish the news as HTML *and* RSS? The point that Michael and Raman are  
making is that having the data as RDFa makes the homepage itself machine  
readable, which is usable by browsers (with or without plugins) to improve  
the user experience (for example), and I would hope in the long run to  
render RSS unnecessary.

Best wishes,
