I thought this was a great explanation of the Semantic Web. The live version
had even more swearing.

But yes, absolutely, good to see the data used in other forms. My main gripe
was with the notion is that this makes it easier for programmers to work with
OSM.
There's certainly ideas here that could be useful in the main OSM API. If the
id references to nodes in ways were automatically linkable, perhaps through
some declaration in the head of the XML, to their own endpoints, that could be
useful.
