It's a typical metadata/semweb scenario. You have some kind of useful data, but different people have different kinds and relying on one particular version fails as many people as it helps. (I like RDF because it was designed to provide
useful answers in the face of lots of partial information).

Indeed and agreed.

Having written a lot of stuff in the traditional academic world that is slowly
crawling to the Web, I don't see a lot of ISBN references.

Hear hear. Same here, when I was doing astrophysics research.
Though if you do http://www.google.com/search?q=astrophysics%20isbn

Résultats 1 - 10 sur un total d'environ 933 000 pour astrophysics isbn. (0,40 secondes)

Another example
http://www.citeulike.org/user/ihuston/article/869979
With the tool (back end web server in this case) giving the BibTex reference. :) in a form.



Useful in theory, but not a good basis for any serious work directed
at the people who are actually going to read what you wrote.

Agreed. It depends on the context of the usage.
What I usually do not want on the Web or in a language like HTML, is to prevent a minority to use features of the languages, specifically when these do not require anykind of actions (implementations) from certain classes of products. (example with role and about attributes for desktop browsers).
