I just want to manifest my RDF love. (Now we're four!)
I don't even mind RDF-XML, in spite of XML verbosity.
The API I've wrapped too, so yeah, that part could use a complete

But, fundamentally, resource graphing is immensely powerful and also
very elegant when comparing with SQL, for example.
It is definitely worth preserving and improving!
