I prefer the first, and maybe it can be trimmed a little: [[ NOTE: N-Triples is graph description syntax for expressing RDF test cases and defining the correspondence between RDF/XML and the RDF abstract syntax. RDF/XML [RDF-SYNTAX] is recommended for use by applications to exchange RDF information. ]] OK, so that's more of a hybrid.
