Well, I was heading the other way round actually for sake of simplicity. As said before I've used RDF/XML for years despite all criticisms, and was happy with it (the devil you know etc). What I understand of the current trend is that to ease RDF and linked data adoption we should promote now this simple, both human-readable and machine-friendly publication syntax (Turtle). And having tried it for a while, I now begin to be convinced enough as to adopt it in publication - thanks to continuing promotion by Kingsley among others :) And now you tell me I should still bother to provide n other formats, RDF/XML and more. I thought I was about to simplify my life, you tell me I have to make the simple things, *plus* the more complex ones as before.

I can try to find out how do that, although remind you I can discuss languages, ontologies, syntax and semantics of data at will, but when it comes to protocols and Webby things it's not really my story, so I don't promise anything. AND : there's NO rdf+xml file in that case, only text/turtle. And that's exactly the point : can/should one do that, or not? Do I have to pass the message to adopters : publish RDF in Turtle, it's a very cool an simple syntax (oh but BTW don't forget to add HTML documentation, and also RDF/XML, and JSON, and multilingual variants, and proper content negotiation ...) ... well, OK, let's be clear about it if we have to do that ... but it looks like a non-starter for adoption of Turtle. > Extra points if you can also post > the server's response headers. > Same remark as above.
