Re: RDF/XML and named graphs

Is there any real advantage to this over using xml literals? Or even 
string literals? (We did try xml literals for OWL-S but tool support 
was weak...)
I don't see how this helps with, e.g., axiom annotations esp. as it 
stuffs all the triples into the parent file as well. (Which I take it 
is for backwards compat with current parsers? Warn that there's this 
funky attribute and then drop the named graphs?)
Decent thing about the literal approach is that it can be layered 
ontop of existing parsers.
Also, things in named graphs can be spread out throughout a file 
instead of clumped.
(And wouldn't it be nice to add property elements with a generic 
rdf:predicate rdf:predName="" bit of syntax so that we can capture 
all RDF graphs and have relatively XML friendly serializations and....)
(Oops, was that the sound of a can of triples^H^H^H^H^H^Hworms 
opening? ;))
Cheers,
Bijan.
