The RDF Core Working Group Charter 
(http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCoreWGCharter) states:

====================================================================
3. Relationships and Dependencies

Coordination with other groups will be managed through the Semantic 
Web Coordination Group.

The Topic Maps community have produced an XML-based Topic Map 
serialization syntax (XTM), and the W3C XML Protocol Working Group is 
already chartered to produce a similar mechanism. The XML Protocol 
Working Group Charter lists as a goal the creation of a "mechanism 
for serializing data representing non-syntactic data models such as 
object graphs and directed labeled graphs, based on the datatypes of 
XML Schema". The RDF Core WG will need to liaise with the XML 
Protocol Working Group and XTM communities to ensure that the RDF 
Core specifications are produced with consideration for possible 
future work on alternate RDF syntaxes.
====================================================================

Since the W3C XML Protocol Working Group is chartered to "produce a 
similar mechanism" like XTM, couldn't XTM be submitted as a Note to 
the W3C for XML Protocol Working Group?  How aware are you with the 
XMLP WG activities?
