I actually suspect that the reverse may occur in the business sphere and that marketing requirements -- whether real or perceived -- will lead to a general situation in which the standardized/semantic web data is restricted to internal use and the public, transactional sites are geared toward the rhetorical presentation of the information. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Indeed, it will be interesting to see *if* it plays out.
