Indeed! Very much so.
I'm loth to re-enter this cluster of threads, which I thought had been beaten
to death last week, so forgive me if I derail the thread into a more
interesting direction with a radical proposition:
HTML != Web.
Now I'm sure that everyone on this list is now exclaiming in outrage at my
insulting suggestion that they don't already know this, but is _is_ odd to see
people on the LOD and SW lists still having this argument so very loudly. I've
repeatedly double-checked the cc list to confirm that this really is happening.
For me, the really big thing about the LOD and SW movements is that they have
repeatedly stressed that there is more to the (data) web than piles and piles
of HTML pages (so very Web 2.0). Yes, HTML has advantages (as has been
laboriously rehearsed here), but it's not the only game in town.
If this community really wants a 'dog food' exercise, then how about
advertising, running, publishing and archiving a LOD/SW conference with NO HTML
in sight at all? There could be RDF, txt, PDF, XML with XSL and CSS, RSS,
ConNeg, and every other TLA you can think of; but not the FLA. Lots of data
formats, each doing the thing they're best at on the Semantic Web of Linked
Open Data, together showing that it really is true that HTML != Web.
Now, _that_ would be an interesting dog-food exercise.
All the best,
Norman
