You are right in saying this was mainly inferred in the doucment, but it's
an
interesting point anyway. You re in a sense giving us a link from 1) to 2).
I don't feel we'll realize the true potentials until we start applying it to
real life situations; but the problem is that we don't have any standard way
of "going forward" and doing this.
I like RSS, but as a means of providing a site summary, it isn't too clear
how it should be linked to an XML document, and then interacted. If we had
XLink in XHTML, things would be *so* much easier...but we don't have either
XLink or RDF, so we have to make do...
I think instead of tying to semanticize HTML, we should try to documentize
XML/RDF. An easier approach IMO!
