I saw this at the airport, had same reaction. Somewhere on 2nd page it
does say "Tim BL is developing a version of this, called the Semantic
Web" or similar, in the UK paper copy I saw at least. I found it a quite
dissapointing article, wasn't clear what prompted it. It did remind me
that we should be clearer about the message that "The Web" is more than
HTML+HTTP+URLs. There's a lot of very interesting and futuristic work
hidden away in http://www.w3.org/TR/ ...some of it even implemented :)
