I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here: I don't see anything 
like what you're describing.

On the webpage given above, when viewed in an XSLT-capable browser, the 
data is given as RDF, using the FOAF and Image namespaces. The content 
is then presented to the user using XSLT, so you see information on who 
created the data and so on in the page:

" Note: This document is presented for a visual user agent via XSLT. See 
source for actual RDF/XML. "

The data can be consumed by any standard RDF capable processing tool.

I certainly find it impressive: I use one of Masahide's stylesheets for 
my FOAF file, applied in-browser at http://crschmidt.net/foaf.rdf or by 
PHP at http://crschmidt.net/foaf.php.
