forgive any obvious stupidity from someone not deeply involved in the
process but i don't see the connection, utility or necessity that puts
these two 'requirements' at the start of an RDF query/rule language
standard effort. i feel wary of tight coupling to XML concepts in this

that doesn't even amount to 2cents does it :/...
