Re: parsers that don't need rdf:RDF?

> I thought I'd seen somewhere -- and now not only can't I cite it, but I've also seen production [1] at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/#basic -- that the rdf:RDF element is optional, and I had the impression that only ARP supported this, but now I realized that this is an extra feature of ARP not required by any RDF Recommendation.


I disagree with the conclusion you draw.  rdf:RDF is optional in the nrmative 
BNF, so I think parser should consider it optional.
