The problem, however, is that it's utterly pointless.  Henry's position
regarding RDF is well established, as is the WG's general opposition
towards using RDF.  I think that it's safe to say that no one is going
to change their minds regarding the value and use of RDF.  This late in
the game, trying to debunk Henry's arguments serves no purpose other
than to distract the discussion away from other, more important
conversations... like the security considerations that still need to be
wrapped up.
