Right. I would say that R2RML is represented as RDF and point to the well
known serialization formats as alternate implementations. We could point out
that an R2RML implementation does not have to support all of them. We could
also point out that R2RML does not address conversion between formats which
strikes me as a solved problem.

In terms of interoperability I think the use of vendor specific SQL in a
mapping is much more significant than the RDF serialization format used.
