You mean using XForms to edit random RDF/XML? I have no experience  
with that, though I know John was interested in it,, and that there  
has been work on this. On quick Google (don't have much time), see:

And if this is the "it" you are referring to, I doubt the issues are  
really in-content attribute-based vs. RDF/XML. One needs some tricks  
to do it (mix Xforms and RDF/XML) at all, given the flexiblity of the  
model.

All I can say in my use case, I really need an attribute to indicate  
a subject URI. That attribute may as well be generic (and so  
"meta:resource").
