Along these lines, I've been playing around with using RELAXNGCC to 
generate RDF triples (this is exactly the annotation idea you outline 
above).

I've RELAXNGCC annotated the RDF/XML Relaxng schema itself: 
http://www.openhealth.org/RDF/RELAXNGccRDF.rng but unfortunately 
RELAXNGCC doesn't yet implement allow this: "attribute with a complex 
name class is not supported yet" :-(

This schema/parser doesn't yet deal with bagIds or reification... but 
since RELAXNGCC chokes on it, this hardly seems to be its main problem 
:-\ oh well...
