It's not the case that XML vocabularies "succeed" if and only if they have
a huge public practice.  Reuters Health articles embed an rdf:Description
element into html:head, and this "succeeds" in the sense that our
customers successfully figure out what to do with it.  We supply a DTD
(and any other schema type on demand, but no demand yet) specifying how
to mix the subset of XHTML with the subset of RDF that we use.
