| I think all of those came after XML. But yes, they are unwanted baggage.

RDF, in particular, with its _demand_[*] for colonified names, was the
root of much evil.  

[*] demand, because it was part of the Metadata Activity - at the time
the apple of the Director's eye - which therefore Could Do No Wrong
and Could Not Be Gainsaid.
