I agree.  I do believe they are competing technologies.  Especially since
both can represent literal values.  But, that makes it harder for RDF as 
Schema is dominant.  So, the burden of proof is on RDF to have a 
clear value proposition for adoption.

This is an interesting analogy.  Can you show me an example that 
demonstrates it?
