I guess the problem I (perhaps others?) are having is that "RDF lets you" 
is dependent on how it's decided that "RDF" *lets* you do that? Or 
anything. Where is it specifically granted the *right* to do that?

You could string together "mashed potatoes and string beans" but I wouldn't 
have to eat them. How did the example string:
<Company>
         <owns>
                 <Company>
                         <owns>
                                 <Company>
get past (passed by?) something (parser, validator?) that has rules about 
what it doesn't choke on?
