| But, while I was playing there, I noticed something I never new before.
I also no the difference between new & knew, but I don't always type well...

No, really. My sinus infection, which appeared to be gone, flared up again over
the weekend in the nastiest way, and I am now coughing up dark mucus and doing
other things that probably don't bear repeating in a public forum. I have the
10:15 doctor's appointment that I should have made last round, had I not
convinced myself that &#8220;it's not that bad&#8221; and trudged through it
all without prescription drugs. I'm not making the same mistake this time. I'll
be back this afternoon.
My email problems of yesterday have been resolved. You can once again reach me
at my normal address, f8dy@diveintomark.org.
Kevin Burton[1] emailed me with another way to link to a FOAF file from my RSS
feed. It looks easier than previous suggestions, and it has the advantage of
being able to use it from an RSS 1.0 or 2.0 feed, but I worry about all these
variations. Just as in real life, where people can use different words that
mean essentially the same thing, in the Semantic Web programs can use different
vocabularies to express the same statements. That's great for producers, not so
great for consumers who have to make sense of it all.
For each domain (RSS feeds, FOAF files, whatever), somebody (or some group)
needs to come along and document best practices. We need better _goal-oriented_
documentation. We have a lot of reference documentation, task-oriented
documentation, but very little that documents that larger picture and answers
questions written in English. &#8220;How do I include personal information in
my RSS feed?&#8221; is a goal-oriented question. &#8220;Create a FOAF file
using this tool and then insert this line at this location in your RSS
feed&#8221; (with as many examples as necessary) is a goal-oriented answer.
Anything less is like trying to master a foreign language by reading a
dictionary.
