You're right. I imagine that they will constantly adapt to exploit any bit of
extra information once it is made available (embedded) in pages.

Guy, you're completely misinterpreting my intents. If you look at the source
of the page, you'll see some bits commented out. I don't know if anything
will ever take off the ground. I am exploring and considering further
possibilities for occupying myself.

I appreciate the pointers. These were interesting pages to read through.

I doubt anyone but a large company can ever dominate a large-scale thing like
this. I can only assure you that search engines are not intelligent and
sometimes in the future this will change. Google Print, which is now
followed by Microsoft's desire to scan books too, comes to show you the lust
for peer review, high-quality literature.
