I believe the reason why we moved away from language about parsing or concrete syntaxes (someone plz correct me if I'm wrong) was to move away from having a closed list of supported serialization syntaxes. Saying that a 'graph' comes out implies a concrete (and valid) syntax and a successful parse. The syntax coming out and the base URI would constitute the context for the parsing.
