But they aren't, they're just starting!

For example, search on Google for "Hearty Vegetable Lasagna Recipe". The way Google is able to recognize the review score, preparation time and number of calories of the recipe was extracting from the semantically tagged markup.

Now search for "Inception". See how Google recognized the review score, the director and the cast? Again, all from semantically tagged markup.

It's not over - it's only now beginning. But HTML5's new "semantic elements" are not the answer. RDFa, Microformats, Microdata - that's the real future.
