A potential disadvantage of this approach (as Sean mentioned) is that
one has to use XML namespaces to encode predQname. Furthermore, the
statements have to be grouped within an <rdf> tag. Finally, there is no
way to enforce an a priori correct XML document using a DTD since the
content model of the <rdf> tag is ANY.

In contrast,

<rdf:statement subject="[URI]" ... />

can be used standalone and has a cleaner DTD declaration. As to
verbosity, one could use XML entities for shortcuts:

<!ENTITY rdf "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
...
<statement subject="http://www.w3.org/Home/Lassila"
predicate="&rdf;type" object="&my;WebPage"/>
