Which stands true for any kind of semantics analysis
* Full text: see spam assassin for mails
* Explicit semantics being microformats, or RDFa or eRDF, or meta.
Then the argument doesn't hold much water. For example, for
microformats, it is just because spammers haven't heard too much
about it. There was a period of grace for wikis also a couple of
years ago.
The thing is what value brings explicit metadata when we want to
develop an application which relies on these. Full Text Search
engines are hardly a target for these. There are plenty of
application which can be develop in specific context.
book reviews, quotation analysis, network of trusted sites gathering
information, etc etc
