And that is where we get into trouble specifying RDF as
a fundamental requirement for new XML systems. Timing is
important to adoption. If a requirement can be met
without use of a new or emerging technology, that is
usually the best way to go about specifying it. Then
keep an eye to the update schedule and any technologies
that prove themselves in the interim and become ripe
for adoption.

As for the first point, I think you really need a few years to see how
successful a technology will be in the marketplace, and what problems it
causes in practice. That's why I chose technologies I consider very well
established.
One of the ramifications of new technologies is you simply don't know right
away how successful they will be. Personally, I think that XQuery and Web
Services will also turn out to be real successes, but we shouldn't proclaim
that until after the marketplace has adopted them.
