That is just not true. If you had carefully read my message, you would have
noted that RDF-XML is by no means a canonical representation. The same
information can be encoded using a totally different XML snippet with
totally different tag names and attributes, while still being valid RDF. For
this reason a "simple" XML parser won't work at all---you'd need a RDF
parser anyway, e.g. from librdf/libraptor.
