Hi Manos,

So, to me it seams that a RDF/Dublin Core reference to the existence of 
a HumanML data resource would be an excellent addition to my own MTML 
project. I'm seeking a way to make the RDF abilities of the sub-browser 
the center piece of the application. The application's use of a relational text 
gathering system is just a user convenience tool.

So the bottom line for this idea is to provide the information to a commonly 
used rendering machine. Has anyone provided a reasonable selection 
process that determines what will end up being rendered on the user's 
machine?
