Given the current state of AI and our understanding how meaning is 
derived?  I'm going to say the latter.  But getting huffy about the W3C 
trying to sell us the latest and greatest seems to me to be getting huffy 
about human nature, about physical laws of progress.  There will ALWAYS be 
a better way of doing things.  In 100 years, or 1000, or even just 1, much 
of what we do today will be considered absurd. In the face of that, we 
have no choice but to simply go with what we have at the time while 
appreciating that it will be superseded sooner or later.
