[OGDev] Getting OpenGuide info in RDF

This thread is confusing me, but not in a bad way.

I have tried several variants of the URL to extract data from OpenGuides 
in RDF.  All of them produce valid RDF/XML (at least, valid enough to 
pass the test at http://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator, and more importantly 
for my project, to be parsed by Jena). 

As far as I can tell, it ain't broke, so there's no need to fix it.
