Good point. I agree that having RDF/XML as the content language (using reification) looks like a good idea, especially because it answers my semantics question, but I suspect two major problems here: 1. RDF/XML has no notion of variables in triples. Of course, this could be fixed somehow, but some of the cleanlyness of this appraoch would be lost along the way. 2. RDF/XML *essentially* allows for conjunctions of (positive ground) triples, which does not provide for much expressiveness.
