Regarding new formats, I'd say do as few as necessary. Prefer simple ones. Prefer ones that are already in use. The simplest option would be “do nothing”. The next simplest one would be “only do a REC for N-Quads”, and personally I'd be very happy if we could get away with this. At any rate, I hope that the collected use cases would be helpful in discussing the necessity of these formats: http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TF-Graphs-UC > - declare victory Oh yes, definitely!

TriG wouldn't require graph literals. It could be defined as serializing an RDF Dataset as currently specified in SPARQL, that is, a collection of (URI, g-snap) pairs plus a default g-snap.
