RDF/XML does not layer RDF on top of XML ina useful way. We use a simple direct representation of the RDF abstract syntax in XML. We add the ability to name graphs, noting that in practice this is already widely used. We use XSLT as a general syntactic extensibility mechanism to provide human friendly macros for our syntax. This provides a simple serialization solving a persistent problem in the Semantic Web.
