Hmm... does that fable mirror an actual use case?  I suspect there are a
good number of programmers using XML without RDF who would say their
productivity is not suffering.  Whether they would say the same after doing
it the "RDF Way" is an interesting question.  Anyone in xml-devland have a
use case to match the fable?

I think the fable is an excellent example of how programmer productivity is
suffering because we use XML rather than RDF over XML for many similar
applications.
