Indeed. They're the stealth advance guard of the Semantic Wikipedia, unwittingly beloved by lots of people who either have never heard of the "Semantic" idea, or imagine that they believe it's too theoretical or unnecessarily complicated or otherwise not for them.
Semantic's is still as complicated as it seems. However infoboxes are structured nicely enough to allow outsiders to infer things from them without the trouble of explicitly including microformats or RDFa in Wikipedia pages.
Oh, but I wasn't talking about the Semantic *Web*! If Semantic MediaWiki, on the other hand, is too complicated for people to use, we've got only ourselves to blame! (Me, I believe there could and ought to be a Semantic MediaWiki that would be as easy if not much easier to use than infoboxes...)
