Lars,
welcome to the party, make yourself at home. Yes, it's totally ok to
reply to older threads and restart a conversation that you care about.

No.

Piggy Bank looks for the mime type, then (hackily) at the URL extension,
if present. Both mime/type and extension do not identify anything we
know about RDF (the xrdf extension probably means RDF/XML but it's the
first time I see it), therefore we don't show up the coin.
An alternative design would be to show the coin for ever page and then
let the person click on it and get a 'no RDF found" message, which might
be even more annoying.
Suggestions are welcome, of course.
