I don't get this part of the thread. Semantics dont neccesarily have to do with syntax and vice versa. Semantics can be serialized in syntax and, as you seem to point out, syntax can be interpreted semantically even if it didn't meant to.

I believe > those folks are fooling themselves at best. XML serializations of RDF based data do avoid one important syntactic trap. I mean, because their syntax and extensibility mechanisms are semantics-oriented, they are also uniform and thus predictable, offering the ability to say anything about anything without having to invent a new syntax (XML or other) for every new domain they need to describe.
