So, while I was catching up on T Bryce Yehl’s blog since missing his transition to MovableType, I caught an interesting blurb he wrote with regards to Phil Ringnalda’s ponderings on FriedPages and BakedPages in weblogs:“Funky caching” could be useful for a static publishing system as well.

About the “RDF tax” in RSS, Jon Hanna says:Ah, but you’re missing the key point that a framework for making statements about web resources is of no use to a format that makes statements about web resources. It was obviously forced. :)Heh, heh. Full point, RDF team. Now I go back to studying.
