I played with the tools from Sergey Melnik, tidied them and tried
them on recent dumps; late last year.  I found that not only are the
dumps not RDF, they are not even XML or UTF-8 - so all the XML
parsers died with illegal character dumps somewhere around line
10,000,000 in processing :-)

Maybe I should write rdf-tidy?
