As an aside, do you think that if the W3C had (or would) put it's stamp on TriX, even just as a note with examples, it would (have) gained more uptake? There was the clunky 1998/99ish RDF/XML stuff which had eyeballs from xml-dev on it, but until relatively recently it seemed like the XML world and the RDF world were completely different planets. Now with the likes of Jeni & Bob DuCharme jumping on board the RDF raft it seems there is real crossover. (Not to mention the OpenLink one store, many views approach).
