Agreed, but RDF is much more easy to read and visualize than most think, 
which is a bad thing. RDF is not bound to any of it's formal or unformal 
forms, including the XML serialization and that makes RDFers have a 
different view for their data than XMLers have for their own. XML is 
(about) markup, RDF is not.
