Now, thanks to your post, Matthew, I see that thinking it was naive was hardly the correct "at worst" scenario.

If everyone in the discussion is using the same buzz word to convey the same message, often times it makes sense to use buzz words because they can communicate abstract ideas efficiently. Trouble arises when buzz words are solely used free from content or in the presence of those who don't grasp all that the word defines. On that note, it's probably worth noting that Semantic Web and Implicit Web are two very different things. @ Andrew: Bester's legacy lives on among hardcore leaf fans. He has not one, but two (!) Facebook fan groups. “I think if we’re going to talk about something, we should be clear about what it is we’re trying to talk about.” - Couldn’t agree more.

That irony is that you're essentially endorsing the idea of a semantic web on a blog with a RSS 2.0 feed. If people really believe the Semantic Web to be the future than shouldn't they make a move to support it with their own blogs? And isn’t the first step to doing that having your feed in a format that is strict enough to be used in a semantic scenario (Atom would probably be the best choice but RDF based RSS 1.0 would also work)? Anyway, sorry for the off topic mini-rant but I just had to point that out I actually agree completely with your post but couldn’t help myself from pointing out one irony.
