This is exactly what I have done with WRAF. And this is whay I say
"strange OO" in the (very) short presentation:

=09http://www.uxn.nu/wraf/


The goal is like skipping several generations of RDF applications and
going for the "ultimate" thing. :-)

Since I'm just today actualy have a working (bare bones) pre alfa version,
I would like to tell a little more about this thing.


Hold on.  will now write somthing up and send it as a separate email. :-)
