Well given people don't even seem able to write web pages that can be
displayed in all browsers (ie using standard html and no junk
extensions), whatever makes you think most web developers have enough
clue to mark up their content with various meta information about what
it is.  Not going to happen.  They are more worried about how it looks
in IE, than about content or how that content can be accessed.
