There's no 90% value proposition to miss until you can give concrete 
examples of exactly what the value is, _and_ make it seem vaguely 
plausible that it's feasible.

I've seen precious little of either, either in this iteration of the 
permathread or elsewhere. Plenty of wild utopianism, and some fairly 
mundane examples of using RDF as a substitue for MIME headers.

Can you, or anyone else for that matter, point to something a little 
more concrete or a little more more convincing?

Cheers,


Miles
