We've yet to see an agreed-on "RDF/XML Light" due to differing opinions and priorities, but one thing everyone agreed on was that a simplified RDF/XML should not have nested structures beyond s->p->o. If we allow too many different serialisation options, people have to *parse* instead of being able to just *use* the data structure right away. That's a deployment barrier, and we should have learned our lessons well from RDF/XML (which of course has other issues, too, but the "less is more" argument still holds in general).
