Rats, and there's my plan for making it rich out of the Semantic Web with
a downloadable version of foafnaut * out of the window, the "do you know
Edd?" campaign was ready to roll too, the SMS campaign was particularly
imaginative I thought, and the 100ft pictures of Edd's head throughout
London would've been really good.

I'm very interested in the data display in brownsauce, having finally seen
it now it's online (after failing to get anywhere with my local java
installation.) and I'd quite like to build the functionality into my
javascript RDF parser - the main reasons I use the javascript
implementation is for displaying stuff to users, and whilst it works well
with known items, it obviously falls apart with unknown information, so
something like brownsauce would be great - would you say it would be
feasible to do this within the HTML/SVG viewer?  (data needs, and
processing being the prime concerns I guess?)

Jim.
