Re: TimBL: parseType="Resource" should be default

No, it was a suggestion  -- not very important -- that
it would save a lot of bytes to be able to change the default
parseType to "Resource" for a whole <RDF:rdf>.  there are many cases,
especially when auomatically generating a serializaion of
a graph, when you always use "Resource".

using parsetype=resource makes the SOAP and RDF
serializations very similar, removing the striping, and
in general making the
This would of course make all older parsers obsolete, so
I would only include it when making a change
of that magnitude.
