My guess is that RDF/XML is 'good enough' for machine oriented
serialization, and it's supported by all the implementations. 

It's really the human-oriented use of RDF/XML that causes problems
(e.g. writing by hand, mapping triples in your head, aesthetics), and
none of the other XML serialization syntaxes are really aimed at
solving this problem.

Cheers,
