@mudkip I remember when TimBL was pushing Semantic Web stuff and how we'd have self-describing documents that could be understood by intelligent agents that would go out onto the web and do our bidding, and structured document editors that would make it easy to write these things without getting down in the markup weeds, all based on XML. Instead we pass around programs in a Turing-complete language that sometimes generate syntactically correct documents with basically no semantics at all.
