Rejecting schema.org

Oh man, nothing like the hurt feelings of the structured data guys. They've been pushing various designed by committee, magical taxonomy of the universe, semantic web hooey for years.

I especially love the statement from @manusporny that RDFa has grown 500% in the last year... So, 5 people using it now?

I say good on the vendors for jumping out of the analysis paralysis and making something work. We'll improve on it as we go, but a working, living start, is better than a never ending W3C working groups. [see html5 vs xhtml 2.0 and json vs xml]

am I missing something? Other than Tantek's work (which is in no way shown on this link), why is a single disenting sentence on HN?

I shall copy and paste for your enlightenment

#schemaorg spits in the eyes of every person and company that worked on open vocabularies like vCard, iCalendar, etc

#schemaorg much worse than just a Google+MS duopoly reinvention of open vocabularies, they're actually forking #HTML5.

#schemaorg #HTML5 fork smoke: http://schema.org/EventVenue openingHours extends <time> datetime with durations.

#schemaorg problem not about #HTML5 #microformats #RDFa. It's about open standards communities and subversion thereof.

A link to cory doctorow from 2001: Metacrap: Putting the torch to seven straw-men of the meta-utopia http://www.well.com/~doctorow/metacrap.htm#2.1

quite a decent essay from @manusporny that debunks a lot about #schemaorg: http://manu.sporny.org/2011/false-choice/

could someone please explain what he means?
