RDF/XML may be butt-ugly and confusing, but IMHO the model is quite the
opposite.

 After years of

I have yet to see an XML application that couldn't be done without XML, so
that argument isn't particularly strong. The point is that in the same way a
lot of applications are considerably easier to implement using XML, quite a
few applications are considerably easier with RDF, and such practical
applications are now popping up all over the place.

It's lit.

Cheers,
