If it was just RDF, I wouldn't be so concerned. However, in addition to the many people who do find RDF complex (and unnecessarily so at that), there's the tiny matter of RDF Schemas floating in limbo. Have you read the CC/PP draft? In my very brief summary, I left out most of the complexity described by the draft itself. >The specification is clear and well written, and there isn't all that >much syntax needed.

Should be dc.Creator I think. By 'the specification' I assume you're talking about the RDF Schemas spec - CC/PP doesn't (yet) have any such errors. >Luckily there are quite a few people using RDF now, so there is >implementation experience as well as large amounts of actual data. There are quite a few people using RDF, but mileage seems to vary tremendously. I'm questioning CC/PP on grounds that it uses too many technologies that aren't quite cooked yet, perhaps doing too much to perform its task, rather than on the grounds of its using RDF.
