Am I fundamentally misguided in believing that RDF/XML provides no benefits over other text formats like N3 and TriG, other than being, nominally, XML? XML tool support seems mostly invalidated by the fact that we're using a format designed to encode hierarchical data to encode non-hierarchical data. I can't figure out why I might want to use RDF/XML.
