Yes, I thought the same thing.  The issue, for me, is not that XML can't
do it.  XML+namespaces *can* be used to represent a (s, p, o) data
model.  RDF official serialization is in XML, after all.  The issue is
that XML+namespaces can be used many other ways, and in fact is rearely
used for (s, p, o) data.  RDF, on the other hand, is *only* used for (s,
p, o) data.
