That describes a very thorough approach to embedding some semantics within LaTeX documents. Yes, 'thorough'; very thorough; verging on the intimidating. I dimly recall that there was a rather more lightweight approach which was used for proceedings in ISWC or ESWC -- I remember marking up a LaTeX document in something less comprehensive than SALT -- but I can't remember enough to be able to re-find it.
