Hmm... OK, that's possible, but leads to an awful lot of XSLT. And I agree
that "any old random XML" shouldn't automatically be RDF either.

Personally I am not opposed to a new RDF syntax (the current looks a bit
like it was "designed by committee" :-). But ultimately the syntax shouldn't
matter all that much since I am sure everyone is hoping that most of RDF
will be both read and *written* by machines (not humans).
