Huh?  I'm baffled by that comment.  Why do you say RDF is not a
hypermedia format?   For one thing, RDF is composed almost entirely of
URIs, i.e., links.  How much more link-ful can you get?  For another,
*any* structured document format can be viewed as a serialization of
RDF, because RDF is syntax independent.  Certainly RDFa provides a
convenient way to view HTML as RDF.  Can you please explain what you
mean by saying that RDF is not a hypermedia format?  Then what *is* a
hypermedia format?
