No, it comes down to having an informed opinion and not arguing from 
a position of ignorance. I've already indicated I don't think the 
apps Elliotte is looking for exist. He won't find the beef he's

Funny you say that. I've read the C# specification and there's 
nothing new in there since Turing, and the rest is C++, say, with 
garbage collection. I don't think either of us should be overly 
disappointed however.

Why are you asking me?  I don't buy into Semantic Web hoopla any 
more than you do.
