I do think it's partly "shifting the problem."

This isn't an RDF or XML problem fundamentally. It's a GUI problem; how 
to actually implement it elegantly.

In both cases, what will make it work (or not) for users is smart GUIs 
that we have yet to see.

 From a purely technical level, the differences aren't that significant.
