Aq, perhaps you could elaborate then? My understanding of the term "semantic web" as it is commonly used has always been the use of correctly structured XHTML or XML (usually XHTML) to markup documents appropriately. Something I certainly don't think is too much extra work and should always be encouraged over "tag soup", as it were.<BR>

Should of come to the lug meeting it was actually Aq who said it wasn't viable mainly cause it's too much extra work and involvement all the metadata stuff would have to be correct Etc. So it just wouldn't work.<BR>
