:-)   If so, you hide it well.    I agree bold like that is annoying.

Indeed, I think the key RDF standards are probably  RDF/XML, RDFa, 
Turtle, and SPARQL.   (N3 and N-Triples do not belong on that list.)    
Turtle isn't a REC yet, but I expect it will be soon. JSON-LD isn't 
probably right to list yet.

But maybe this isn't the right entry in which to name them...
