Sorry, a little too telegraphic. ;-)

Do you mean I should omit RDF, Semantic Web, etc. and just leave it open 
ended? Or keep the present prose and insert: "Business Vocabularies, and 
....!"

Sure, sounds good to me.

Lars, does Steve's paragraph cover your concern?

Steve, if you have the time, can you amend the opening sentence and 
paste in your last paragraph and post as clean text?

Assuming everyone is happy with that version, we can all start 
volunteering, on list so we can avoid too much cross posting, for 
posting to various lists.

Hope you are having a great day!

Patrick
