Remember that any OWL statement is also a valid RDF statement.
Therefore you can serialize it any way you like that conforms with the
RDF serialization Rec. You are not limited to the form of those examples.
By the same token, harkening back to your earlier question about using
xslt to transform OWL to HTML, it is infernally hard in the general case
because of all the allowable variations in RDF serialization.
