That is fine. Nobody mandates that your (or anyone else's) software must be able to handle all cases of RDF. But to impose an irrational limitation on a standard just because someone has spent a lot of money is a very bad way to make progress, IMO. Although, I believe that there are still people using COBOL, so you may have a point.
It was reported that the average American has nearly 4,000 interactions with COBOL based transaction systems per year. http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh060109-story03.html
So, yes, there are people still using COBOL. Hope you are having a great day!
