See OWL for another example.

And, by the way, I was disappointed by my realization that ‘Web 2.0′ failed to include the earlier (late 90s) aim of the Web community (that is to mean W3C) to separate content from format? Ever tried to machine parse anything that came off WordPress? It’s awful, skins rule over ‘es, so it’s essentially hopeless. RSS is the answer to this problem, and it is indeed an elegant one (RSS 2.0, at least).
