I like this one a lot, because (a) it avoids exposed content, (b) it moves things together inside one XML tag which are always ocurring together as a single DAM+OIL expression.

Q1: Can someone confirm that this is legal RDF (I found at least one parser that didn't like it..), 

Q2: can anyone let me know when they object that I change all of our running example to this style?
