Which reminds me, a trick from GRDDL that might possibly be useful for
parser developers. The GRDDL approach is essentially to run separate
XSLTs individually against the source doc, one for each profile. The
resulting statements/graphs produced by each are then added to the
accumulated RDF.

I guess the way the results are joined would depend on your internal
representation, but I don't see why the multi-pass trick couldn't be
used in other parsers.

Cheers,
Danny.
