You're missing the point.  With Google, you only get indexed the
metadata that they permit you to index.  Period.  It's the opposite of
open.  Of course, they'll index any *document*, but the metadata is
completely closed.  That's the point; it's a walled garden.  The
semantic web is about completely open metadata, not a walled garden.
