Heaven forbid you use RDF/XML!
(I realize that could be read with sarcasm, that I don't intend).

No I was more wondering just talking about fairly abstract triples. RDF is
fairly abstract really.

The bit about mapping to N-triples that I think is a waste of time is to do
with forcing a literal to sit on one line, and all the escaping etc that you
are supposed to do. It's needed, but it is syntactic grunge that is wholly
irrelevant to OWL.

I haven't reviewed this text before - I guess it went out in our Abstract
Syntax WD ... I didn't really take that one seriously, sorry.
