What I meant here is that when the page is rendered on the server side, the
content of the body is parsed by ARC2 and the triples contained in the
XMLLiteral are appended to the HTML+RDFa document. This would allow RDFa
parsers which do not recursively process the XMLLiteral content to still get
the RDFa expressed in it. This is just an alternative to work around the
fact that RDFa parsers don't support this feature. Note that I just used
ARC2 as an RDFa parser example but this would work with any RDFa parser. To
convert back to RDFa, there are tools like [1].
