Please note that I am not condemning XML, which is very useful for

Yes.
The first weakness of RDF is that somebody has to *parse* RDF/XML.
Nobody except compiler writers parse the language(s) they use.
Can't we now accept that RDF/XML isn't the overarching definition of
RDF? It does have a model distinct from a variety of syntaxes and
data serialization formats.
I am sure we can move beyond the initial RDF/XML is RDF confusion
from the past. As I've stated repeatedly, RDF/XML no longer has an
overarching grip on RDF. Most important of all, it certainly doesn't
have any kind of overarching grasp over any incarnation of Linked
Data :-)
