Odd. The markup side of me is happy to hear Jonathan say that.
At the same time, though, the programmer in me finds Jonathan's
preferred solution of ontologies, though declarative, to intrude too
deeply into my choices about processing, and that reminds the markup
side that ontologies feel both constrictive and heavyweight.
Oh well.
