Fwd: I-D ACTION:draft-swartz-rdfcore-rdfxml-mediatype-00.txt

[Graham Klyne]

All,

The following was recently published as a work item of the W3C RDFcore 
working group.  It is our hope that when the specification documents are 
stabilized as W3C recommendations (hopefully, quite soon) we can move this 
forward promptly for RFC publication.

If there's anything here likely to be problematic, we'd appreciate knowing 
sooner rather than later.
