One could better argue that we have no need for RDF because we have Google, but so? But more to the point, RDDL allows the _owner of the namespace URI DNS entry_ to serve as the authority regarding what resources are associated with a namespace. RDDL (levaraging DNS and HTTP) is intended to serve as a way for _you_ to describe _your own_ namespaces, not as a way for someone to describe someone elses namespaces (which could be done in RDF).
