Hi all:
After about two months of helping people generate RDF/XML metadata

I have quite some evidence that the current best practices of
using .htaccess are a MAJOR bottleneck for the adoption of Semantic
Web technology.
I agree, and raised this issue with the W3C TAG some time ago. It
was apparently not taken seriously. The general consensus seemed to
be that any normal adult should be competent to manipulate an Apache
server.
(Was yours a deliberate sarcastic misrepresentation of the TAG's
consensus, or a genuine misunderstanding?) The TAG has expressed
that the fact that Apache needs root intervention when it doesn't have
the right mime type set up is a serious bug.
My own company, however, refuses to allow its employees to have
access to .htaccess files, and I am therefore quite unable to
conform to the current best practice from my own work situation. I
believe that this situation is not uncommon.
So you mean you can't set up content negotiation and redirection.
But you can use foo#bar URIs like I do.
Will the company allow a mime.types file to include application/rdf+xml?
