RE: <rdf:RDF> tags

PS. Got the serialisation I was after :

xmlDoc.documentElement = xmlDoc.createNode(1, "rdf:RDF",
"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns");

doc saved starts with :

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns" ...

but I'm still curious about the meaning of "RDF"...
