Another example is RSS1.0 [1]. It's arguable whether it's just as valid to call a RSS instance an RDF document as an RSS document, but I'd note that this specific serialisation was chosen to be backwards-compatible with a non-RDF XML language, so it is useful to identify it as RSS. I suspect that other RDF-based languages may have the same issue. [1] http://purl.org/rss/1.0/ -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
