if you combine it with a particular convention for breaking
lines in XML, you get something even easier to perl+duct-tape.



<Statement
><predicate
resource="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator"
/><subject
resource="http://example.com/danhomepage/"
/><object
resource="genid:435345353453"
/></Statement
