I understand this -- the issue is not that the RDF is bad, but that generic
RDF processors cannot be used as PRISM processors. In other words, I can't
take SiRPAC or Redland off-the-shelf and use it to manipulate PRISM. This
may not be a major issue, but it does bother me that you're requiring the
use of special tools to use PRISM and not being truly open RDF.
