Say what?

Wait a minute.  I pretty much assumed I'd disagree with most of what you had 
to say in response to this message.  But this really throws me.

Have you ever tried using RDF/XML insituations where UUID URNs and the like 
are used as URI?  Your answers on this point lead me to think you haven't.

Trust me.  The RDF/XML serialization is useless for solving this problem in 
practice.
