Why would you want to take a nice, readable format, and translate it
into the confusing bloated mess that is RDF/XML automatically and by
default? Because some particular toolkit can't read N3/Turtle yet?
Silly.

If the toolkit you want to use sucks, then you can convert the N3/Turtle
to RDF/XML yourself easily enough...
