I've got no problem with XFN and/or FOAF - I've built sites that support them. The problem I see is that advocates for those formats concentrate on the easy stuff - a data format - while ignoring the hard stuff - spam, granular privacy controls.
These problems DO need solving now, though - without them these technologies are about as useful as meta-data in webpages. Maybe they should relaunch AltaVista circa 1998 as a new "Semantic Web" search engine..
