I can appreciate the value of RDF/XML for certain processing tasks, and I'm okay with keeping RDF/XML alive as a *processing* format. My suggestion to deprecate RDF/XML was intended to apply to its use as a *publishing* format.

Hear hear.

For example: When RDFizing data that originated from something XMLish (or something convenient to process using XML tools), RDF/XML is obviously by far the most convenient target for generation by XSLT or similar. But when doing that I always check my work by immediately converting to Turtle. And having generated it, I might as well serve it out with suitable ConNeg, because it will probably be the most convenient format for _someone_.

But there's little need to advertise it, and no need to mention it prominently when introducing RDF.

All the best,

Norman
