that'd be *interesting*.
For certain readers, heavy emphasis on "structured data" would exactly
cover what they want: the world in an infobox. Of course many of said
readers may be machines, and not signed up to PayPal. Readers' charter
versus writers' charter? The things that WP actually has do sound more
like the readers' charter: massive updates, articles that may be little
more than "watch this space" but are at least there, hypertext surfing
as a given of design (underestimated by people who assume articles are
read through if at all). "Structured data" does little or nothing for
writers' job satisfaction.
