I don't have problem with that ?

Search engines (and not just google) already seem to be doing a good
job of parsing all that messy text.

I think we should be working harder to make computers understand our "mess"
rather than working harder to fit our data into rigid structures.

Of course we need some standards and URI's are a good example. They are
cool because they are universal, they (should) point to the same thing
for everyone.
