Ah-ha, thanks, I'd not spotted that.  Perhaps a quick fix would be to
have the "RDF/XML" link in the navbar point to the URI of the thing
itself, rather than the URI of the entry-about-the-thing?  That seems
to make more sense to me, in terms of doing the Expected Thing.  After
all, the interesting thing is the, well, thing, not the entry about it.

Lots of great ideas in your mail - thank you!  I started going through
and replying bit by bit, but pretty much everything was "yes, that
sounds cool, we should be able to do that".  So I'll just say it once,
and it generally applies to the whole lot (some bits of it would, of
course, take more work than others).

Do you think you'd be able to take the RDF output for that page, and
edit in the stuff that you'd like to see there?  Just so we have a
reference for what we're aiming for.  It's a lot easier to understand
things when there's a concrete example.

Regarding "pretty" URIs, I'm not sure we should be trying to
incorporate URI rewriting within OpenGuides itself - and consequently
I don't want us to depend on it to the extent of writing our RDF on
the assumption that it's there.  Does a machine that's processing some
RDF actually care that a URI isn't very attractive?  And can't we use
something like the <rdf:Description><rdfs:label> thingy in your Far
