Hi, The formation of this RDF interest group is timely, as the P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences) Specification Working Group is currently pondering whether to stick with our current RDF syntax, improve our RDF syntax, or get rid of our RDF syntax altogether (and just use XML). We hope the P3P spec can go to last call in October, so we need to resolve this fairly quickly. I have posted some notes that describe the current P3P syntax and alternatives at http://www.w3.org/P3P/Group/Specification/rdf.html (this was originally member-only but it should be made public shortly). At the bottom I've started a list of pros and cons of the various alternatives, and I would be interested in further feedback on this. Note that there are several prototype P3P implementations that implement the current syntax. However, as far as I know, none of them include RDF parsers. All seem to be using XML parsers that basically ignore the RDF-specific syntax. See http://www.w3.org/P3P/implementations. Source code is available for some of these implementations.
