And an awful lot like what plink does or has announced it will do. I
don't have a functional XPointer engine, but it does pretty much the
RDF annotation part (embedded or by reference) as described by the
XHTML Augmented Metadata spec I've published:
http://www.doctypes.org/meta/NOTE-xhtml-augmeta.html
It can harvest the Dublin Core from an XHTML document into an RDF document,
and I don't know if anyone remembers, but the last time we talked I had
the bright idea of being able to also sprinkle the Dublin Core amongst
documents (the reverse process). The big question that nobody has been
able to answer (at least to my satisfaction) is what possible good are
RDF annotations if they're not part of some schema?
An interesting project though. I'll like to play with nareau. Too bad it
only works on Windows.
