my main point was just to point out the architectural similarities 
between the two stacks, and i i hope i made it sufficiently clear that 
RDF does have much better capabilities for doing some kinds of things 
than XML. but you can still compare the stacks and where they sit in the 
context of web architecture.

this article is mostly about the applications you build on top of the 
stacks, and there i think we can safely say that the typical XML 
application takes a different approach from the typical RDF application. 
but still, we can look at how they model and use fundamental aspects of 
services and interactions on a level that should be independent from the 
preferred metamodel/model stack.
