xml-dev - SV: A certain difficulty

I have downloaded it, but not yet gotten the chance to try it out.  If it in
anyway helps us in our goal of porting SKiCal/iCal from its current mime
type existence to XML-RDF then we will surely send you flowers.

On the other hand there is something unsettling about your solution to the
"difficulties" being discussed.  I know I was sloppy quoting someone offhand
like that and I am working in the background in order to get an "official"
comment from that person, but we were talking about understanding;


understanding in order to implement
		and not
implementing in order to circumvent understanding

(e.g.  MSFrontpage does not endow the knowledge of the concept of hypertext
on its users - it just creates hypertext)

We are in a process where understanding is essential.  And this process
craves transparency -at least I think it does :-)  while writing this I
started to wonder what the web would have looked like if we had all used
FrontPage and not Notepad. I am not sure.

Yet, in physics there is the process of renormalization, whereas one would
during research, accept minor inconsistencies or even outright wrongs, in
order to carry on in a process, which would eventually lead to an immaculate
Bingo.

Should Protégé be seen as an instrument of renormalization shedding light on
the processes of serializing conceptuality or as the FrontPage of RDF?
