But even there, the distinction between “take this set of triples, ignoring their semantics” and “take this set of triples, taking their semantics into account” still doesn't seem to call for a different media type. Again, the semantics is in the vocabularies. The fact that in some situations, one may want to exchange RDF graphs while  ignoring their semantics doesn't change that.
Apropos the comment above:
RDF content oriented media types imply that entity relationships (the 
graphs) and their semantics are discernible (and comprehensible) to 
compliant content processors.

The thing about RDF that sometimes gets lost is the fact that the entire 
system is described explicitly via vocabularies [1][2].
