I don't know what "naturally wary" means in this context; genetically predisposed? However, since two members of the HTML WG (myself and Steven) actually encouraged Misha to raise this issue on the public lists so that it could be discussed, and even pretty much guaranteed that by hook or crook we would solve the problem, then I'd say we're 'genetically predisposed' to finding solutions! ;) On a more serious note, it's my strong belief that we can forget about the Semantic Web (yes, that), if we don't get the news organisations on board with XHTML 2. If I see another calendar or vCard demo I think I'll go bonkers....so I'm actively looking for use cases like Misha's, since we need to know now if there are reasons why communities will not use XHTML 2 and its new metadata features, and try to address them whilst we still can. (That sounds like a rant, but it's not ;) ... Such is the way with email.)
