Jon Udell asks ...

'I've been asking myself ... questions about my current project: why doesn't it provoke the reaction I think it should? ... it shows how ubiquitous but underexploited technologies (XPath, XSLT, XHTML) can make our everyday information more useful. ... If I can't paint a picture of the forest that people can relate to, then planting a few more trees won't help. The notion of dynamic categories comes closest to answering the "so what?" question. But not close enough. When you work publicly, in blogspace, as I have been doing, reaction to your work is exquisitely measurable. And when I take the pulse of that reaction it's clear that I'm miles away from proving three points: Ordinary Web content is already full of metadata, which can enable powerful queries, which, in turn, can motivate us to enrich the metadata.'
