RE: [xml-dev] RDF Interpretation of XML documents (was Re: [xml-d
Understood.   But mapping may be necessary or acceptance 
of the limits of striping.  It's a case of half-measures 
where half-measures are adequate.   It is also a design 
issue.  If one is designing new vocabularies rather than 
shoe horning legacy vocabularies, designing with the SW 
in mind from the beginning would appear to be a good idea.

True and I wouldn't want to go through mappings between the document 
structure and it's RDF counterparts for each different case. Sounds 
inconvinient and very error prone.

One will have to map any form of KR to markup anyway, unless an XML 
serialization for it already exists so I think I'll stick to what I have 
for now ;-)
