Re: [xml-dev] Is the set of languages expressible using XML a superset of the set of languages expressible using JSON?
Alexander, I would rather hear concrete proposals which could be elaborated into a W3C standard, implemented into working software and evaluated with respect to their domain independent appropriateness and usefulness.

Plenty of "document semantic" formats out there, why do you need triples for that? What problem is triples solving that others can't?
I know what you're after, btw, and those pesky triples (or are they?! What exactly are triples over anonymous nodes and massive repetitive tree structures, really? Is every SI truly singular in meaning? Where does the triple, tuple, n-ary expression start and stop?) provides a way to express complex tree structures to some satisfying definition of ontologically magnificence, but ... even Topic Maps can do that (while also being RDF compatible, both ways). Semantic expression and interpretation is quite different from serialisation, be it in triples and RDF, or Topic Maps and XTM, or leaves in the bottom of a tea cup.
All I'm saying is that your mode of transport isn't so much the problem, but more of a distraction from epistemological problems that lies underneath even the most brave triples parsers out there ...
Cheers,
Alex
