RE: Weakness in the Semantic Web?

I think it really is that simple. It's just a matter of reaching some degree
of consensus in the community (which community?) that allows applications to
"understand" what is meant by this assertion. It's a matter of trading ease
of processing for rich expressiveness.  Hmmm...RDF Lite? Just kidding.

Will the following work out?

<r:RDF
   xmlns:r="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
   xmlns:rs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#">

   </r:Description>
   <!-- rest of document -->
</r:RDF>
