I don't follow what you're saying here.  I don't disagree (as someone involved 
with RDF) that RDF has made its life hard in several ways, but if what you have 
and want to pass around is a graph, how does one *not* push it down into the data?

(Personally, I'd like to see json-home be something that has a clear mapping to 
RDF, but that's a different discussion.)
