And I've done similar things with RDF (everything from people in FOAF, to a 
whole variety of travel data and geographic data)  SVG works well with the 
underlying RDF model, XHTML doesn't currenlty, and even in XHTML 2.0, it's 
pretty odd.

I think one of the differences here is that some people thing the semantics 
of HTML whilst not perfect contain some of the things people want to say. 
Whereas others have pretty much given up on the semanticness of HTML as not 
doing enough to really add the value we want.
