[Kendell Grant Clark] notes a number of alternatives to the ugly XML serialization of RDF: first, there are at least six good alternatives to RDF-XML for serializing RDF models: Notat Ion3 (aka, N3), N Triples, Turtle, [TriG] (which is, roughly, Turtle++), [TriX], and [RXR] ("Regular XML RDF"); and, second, because at least two of them are "ordinary" XML vocabularies ([TriX] and [RXR]) - amenable to XSLT transformations, for example. That means that you can do lots of RDF, all the RDF you might ever need or want to do, and never produce or consume the canonical RDF-XML serialization. Hmm, but then does that mean that everybody needs to support all of those serialization models to have InterOp with potential systems using them? This sounds like the many-flavors-of-RSS all over again!
