Which is exactly why I stated my "To DaveB" bit at the end. In case, for
some reason, you didn't understand it, I meant for it to end up looking
somewhat like:

<Stating>
  <rdf:value>
    <rdf:Statement>
      <rdf:subject rdf:resource="#TestCases" />
      <rdf:predicate rdf:resource="#utility" />
      <rdf:object rdf:resource="#high" />
    </rdf:Statement>
  </rdf:value>
</Stating>

This is a similar interpretation as used by EARL. I hoped that my
description of meaning would clear things up, but apparently not. I hope
that this clears things up -- I just didn't want to type all that XML>
