Just a quick heads up that I've just fired a no frills implementation of 
the RDF Interfaces on to github:

   https://github.com/webr3/rdf-interfaces

Basically this provides the RDFEnvironment, for ecma-v5 targets, as per 
the current specification (previously the RDF API, a name which is going 
to be used for a different, more end user focussed spec):

   http://www.w3.org/2010/02/rdfa/sources/rdf-interfaces/

The code's public domain of course, and I guess that base layer of code 
on which libraries and nicer APIs can be built. Of which (a nicer 
library) I'll have up in the very near future. *

* Basically it's all done for a previous version of the spec (back when 
there was just one RDFa API which included everything), just needs a few 
method calls updated - will notify in due course.

Best,

Nathan
