Yes, I tend to agree, but I think it is in some ways illusory and 
frustrating because I don't think there is a good XML format for RDF. In 
fact there may not be a good textual format for RDF at all - it is 
somewhat too general.

GRDDL from more specific formats maybe a better solution, but then you 
may loose the extensibility of RDF ....
