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...)
