Jeremy,

While not wanting to take away from Peter's list of caveat's (which are all justified), your conclusion is correct: DAML+OIL does not make any assumption about which particular serialisation of RDF is used (in XML or otherwise, or in one XML form or the other). 

Also, I share your conclusion that this is how our new language should be.
