We haven't talked about specific formats per se; what we're mostly
interested in is coordinating namespace usage. I've certainly got
nothing against JSON output, and it might even be nice to offer
N-Triples (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples) as well. Your
recent change to using templates for the output theoretically makes it
very easy for us to implement.

Some examples of our output in different formats using Dave Beckett's
excellent "triplr" triple-converter:
