I want Jena to read N3 with literal XML values,
possibly including namespaces. Then write them out
as RDF, preserving the XML and its namespaces.
An example of my input:
<THING> dc:description
"Text and a <link to='place'>complex element</link>."^^rdf:XMLLiteral .
I think it's because that is not a legal XML Literal. XML literals
must be canonical to be valid and valid to be output as parseType-literal.
The rules are there to trip you up.

In this case it's a simple matter of using " not ' in the attribute.
"riot --validate" does checking but it only tells you if it's right or
wrong, not why it's wrong.
But the RDF output is escaped XML; the angle brackets
are replaced by escape sequences. I want to process the output
with XSLT, so I would prefer the XML to remain as such.
This happens when the lexical for is illegal - it outputs the content as
if it were a string in the XML, making any XML characters safe.
Is this even supposed to be possible?
Oddly enough, if I use very simple XML (no attributes, no
namespaces) it does approximately what I want!
Thank you.
