Yes, v nice :)

One question re this and other folk exposing existing datasets: are you 
happy with RDF crawlers downloading these pages one by one? Or concerned 
re impact on server, efficiency, bandwidth etc?
Should we look at conventions to help with this, eg. datadump-generated FOAF
docs could contain markup that indicated that, perhaps also a pointer to a 
server-wide dump of all pages or index page of all people? (presumably 
with mailboxes obscured to avoid spam harvesters...)
