Jens,

Yes, thanks - so do I.

I was trying to get XML RDF by using Firefox with the Tabulator 
extension, and just expected it to kick in when I went to the "data" 
URL.  Instead I found myself looking at these text triples.

Is there a variant on the URL itself which will return XML RDF?  My 
concern is that XSLT processors should be able to access these linked 
data resources. XSLT [1.0] only groks XML documents.  XSLT just has the 
document() function in its armoury, and the only information you can 
give it is a URL: hence the question.

(I took this concern to the XSLT list, and the most helpful suggestion I 
got there was to set up a proxy server which takes URLs, adds an 
"accept" header to them, and passes them on.  So that's my fallback 
strategy if I can't put something into the URL to achieve the desired 
result.)
