And who are the competitors for the linked data applications, the
Semantic Web?  But that is worth exploring.  What seemed to be the case
in the past was HTML plus XSL plus a Relational DB has been the sweet
spot.

It's been a pleasure.   Tagging is tiresome.  This is a nice break.

Well, if it enables both documents and linked data, that's gotta hit a
sweet spot?
I was hoping static hypermedia might help that cause.  I'm still not
cmonvinced it
wouldn't - after all I'm pretty sure the JSON guys are trying to put
hypermedia in
JSON too, but it may be a bit harder because there are no namespaces.

I'd better get back to my p's and q's!
