In a way, yes: I'd like to avoid putting too much stress on the
markup issues right now. Not that they are unimportant, though.

I do completely agree to what you say here. What I was saying is that
we have several issues at hand (*) complexity issue, where I'd like to
avoid covering all possible the problems which may appear (*) RDF issue.
I do NOT think that RDF issue simplifies things (that is why I did
not initially try to make SCL-in-XML RDF-compatible). IMHO both the
complexity issue and the RDF issue have to be taken seriously.

Even more: since attempts for RDF compatibility (whatever this will mean)
will by nature bring additional potential complexities, we should then be
ESPECIALLY careful to avoid going into all the rising actual and 
potential complexities.
