My favorite idea at this point is Ontology-Driven XML (ODX), which
should allow people to use their normal XML (as long as it's not too
crazy) mapped to RDF triples based on the rdfs:Class of the XML element
and attribute names (mapped to URIs).  Elements which have type
rdf:Property or rdfs:Class are parsed as in RDF/XML (with stripe
skipping as necessary); datatypes and collection elements can also be
handled.

One of these days I need to put together a demo....    :-/
