RDFa is a fairly suitable format for triple store dumps - after all,
there's no rule saying that the HTML you generate must be pretty - a
bunch of empty <span> elements garnished with @about, @rel, @resource,
@property, @content, @datatype and @xml:lang ought to do the trick.

RDFa 1.1 will be an even better format for dumps, as it removes the
need to split the predicate and datatype URIs into CURIEs. Though
there are some tricks for generating lazy CURIEs in 1.0, e.g.

 <span
  about="#i"
  xmlns:p="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name"
  property="p:"
  content="Toby Inkster"></span>
