Michael Smethurst did a fascinating post about how the BBC make websites at http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radiolabs/2009/01/how_we_make_websites.shtml covering concepts such as persistent URIs, REST, Domain Driven Design and Linked Open Data

A session from Michael, or something covering these concepts and how they can be applied in practical ways would be fantastics
The BBC recently withdrew their use of microformats because of concerns about accessibility. In October 2008 W3C released a specification for RDFa - using which embeds RDF in attributes in XHTML. In the library world there has been some use of COiNS which embeds structured data in the form of an OpenURL in a span in (X)HTML.

What are the pros and cons of the different approaches? What are the overall benefits of embedding structured data in web pages? How does this compare with the idea of using http 303 to present machine-readable version of resources?

I think the underlying aspects of this are the key - it doesn't have to be the BBC, but they have some good stuff to say, and very practical demonstration of why you should use some of the concepts I mentioned in the original suggestion. I also hope that some of IWMW can be aspirational!
