We agreed in Montréal that the existing example was bad because it
made recommendations in addition to those made in the document
itself. I also made the point that doing a full example with syntax
etc would implicitly make recommendations about syntax, even though
Deliverable #1 itself does not do this, and I thought that was a bad
idea. At the time I thought people agreed with me, but they have
actually agreed with something else. :)

Well, I don't think RDF is any *more* relevant than XTM, nor any
less. I would use both in Deliverable #2, but neither in #1.

The examples already in Deliverable #1 seem to me sufficient as they
are. I don't think we need anything more, provided we explain them.
