I can't say I've really played with it, but I've looked at enough of it, 
and take a look at every new proposed RDF serialization.  This brand new 
document is comprehensive AFAIK:

I'm skeptical.  I'm eager to remove the comment hack, but I think we're 
stuck with XML-based formats for publishing/interchange.

Non-XML RDF formats are great for quick writing (or rather XML formats 
suck) and as suck would be good for editing RDF explicitly in a wiki, if 
you wanted to do that.  But just as wiki markup is used to generate HTML 
for display...
