Thanks, Jeremy, for the explanation!

I do not understand why we need to explictly show a relationship between OWL/XML and RDF/XML. There's a mapping between Functional Syntax and OWL/XML on the one hand, and between Functional Syntax and RDF on the other hand, together with a serialization mapping between RDF and RDF/XML.
