Bijan,

To my mind, a GRDDL "transformation" that is not machine interpretable defeats the purpose of using GRDDL: if one were going to do that, one might as well just do that from the OWL/XML namespace document.  One doesn't need GRDDL for it.  To be clear, if a document consumer had the built-in knowledge to recognize the OWL/XML GRDDL "transformation" URI and dispatch to a special OWL/XML --> RDF translator, then it could just as well have the built-in knowledge to recognize the OWL/XML namespace and dispatch to that same translator without involving GRDDL whatsoever.
