This is the crux of the problem. If Tim Bray can't do RDDL/RDF using his little toe, with his hand tied behind his back and the rest of him hog tied and upside down, then what prayer to we have trying to foist this upon the rest of the world, i.e. people who just want to create and document XML namespaces? I think he is saying that it is just too complicated -- and my concern is that to do it correctly is even more complicated -- so the question is: do the new round of RDF specs simplify the authoring of XML/RDF for the proverbial "joe web hacker"? Some folks on the XHTML WG say RDF is a non-starter -- is this true? Can RDF be smoothly integrated with XHTML? Jonathan
