David,

When in the past did you (or anyone else) get bitten by 
database-centricity? Note, I ask bearing in mind that a relational 
database isn't the only kind of database. Also bearing in mind that RDF 
is inextricably linked to the realm of database technology.

Methinks, this effort has been bitten in the past by actually trying to 
disconnect RDF from database technology.
