These syntactic variations are RDF's problem, not XSLT's, any more than rendering of SVG or XForms are XSLT's problem. In other words, the root cause of the sadness you describe is at http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/, not at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt. Don't get me wrong, I love RDF in general, and I think the whole idea of RDFStyles is great, because if RDF/XML syntax is messy enough that existing XML tools can't do much with it, then it looks like new tools are necessary, but when I see how bloated the XSLT 2.0 spec has gotten, I'd rather see complaints about what XSLT can or ought to be able to do expressed more accurately than "XSLT does not work with RDF."
