Hi Jeremy,

How does XSLT 2.0 help the RDF/XML to TriX transform. What advantage
does it have over XSLT 1.0 to perform this task? And shouldn't we be
using a parser rather than an XML technology to process raw RDF/XML? My
practical experience is that XSLT cannot reliably read triples. We might
get close but the XSLT gets so horrendously complicated and
unmaintainable that it not worth using. 

Show me a stylesheet that purports to extract triples with 100%
reliability and an example RDF/XML instance and I am sure that even I
with a limited knowledge of the RDF Syntax spec could produce an
identical instance (same triples) that would break it.
