Erik,

Loosely-coupling is dear to my heart (and many other individuals and 
enterprises) too. Thus, I hope we agree that conflation is antithetical 
to the cause? If so, then why do you still characterize RDF as a format? 
It isn't a format, that is simply inaccurate [1]. Characterizing RDF as 
a format is not a good example of loose-coupling.

RDF is a Language, distinct from a variety of notations (RDF-XML, 
RDF-Turtle, JSON-LD etc..) that can be used to create document content. 
The aforementioned document content is serializable using a variety of 
formats (each identifiable using content-types).
