For example:

[[
The original RDF/XML document

1: <?xml version="1.0"?>
2: <foo/>
3: 

Triples of the Data Model in N-Triples Format (Sub, Pred, Obj)

Validation Results

Your RDF document validated successfully.

This misleads people into thinking that this is RDF.

I've seen people use this on so-called "RSS 2.0" files and claim they
are RDF.
