Fair enough. But then a REST API isn't a panacea since browsers(or content parsing apps) need go through a new iteration from rendering content "as-styled" to "as-meant" for a semantic web. We don't have that yet and it doesn't look like vendors are going down that path any time soon. Then there's the question of text-only browsers like Lynx.
A semantic web as you describe isn't the current web at all, but a new completely new layer on top of it.
