Why would you want to take a nice, readable format, and translate it into the confusing bloated mess that is RDF/XML automatically and by default? Because some particular toolkit can't read N3/Turtle yet? Silly. If the toolkit you want to use sucks, then you can convert the N3/Turtle to RDF/XML yourself easily enough... -DR-
