Our beloved "everyone, everything connected" implies making the Web
accessible to *people* but in order to achieve this optimally we must also
not forget that machines need to be connected as well - although
essentially for people's benefit.
The main excuse for doing our RDF exercises is to enable access to Webstuff
by machines and while "proselevel" is necessary for human readable stuff,
we must always ensure that we are providing access for our
robot/spider/searcher thingies. In a way the same considerations that WAI
employs apply to machines which in fact have severe disabilities that must
be considered when we write/structure/index our content, etc. - and
particularly our EDL.

ACCESSIBILITY IS RIGHT - NOT PRIVILEGE
