Actually, lots of software that can do RDF actually prefers something other than RDF/XML. I softened it to.. | Software tools that use the Resource Description Framework | naturally work with documents whose data is encoded using RDF/XML. This next para is too strong, to the point that it's incorrect; I'd like to find words that are correct and capture the gist, but for now, I just deleted it: > There are essentially three parts to using GRDDL.

That refers to "GRDDL-aware processor" as if it had been introduced earlier. It hasn't. I have in mind to write an appendix about a sample implementation of GRDDL, but until then, I prefer to stay silent about processors. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
