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.
