I think people working on RDF in Perl should all back away from using
RDF:: perl modulespace for application specific stuff - whether Wraf,
Redland, Alberto's RDF parser, Eric Prud'hommeaux's, ....

We have been jointly guilty of polluting this (me included) and
should stick to WRAF::, Redland:: , Reggiori:: or other
application-specific modulespaces until a common perl API can be
agreed, something like for DBI/DBD.

We certainly can't agree on what RDF::Statement would look like,
never mind RDF::Parser!
