Thanks for the comments. I think this suffice to indicate that we cannot drop 
RAP completely: either we need to provide some alternative, or at least make a 
separate extension for RDF bindings.

Regarding alternatives:
* A full regular RDF export to load into another RDF store would work, but it 
is not as tightly coupled to SMW. Advantage is that you can use any store you 
like.
* Ontoprise has worked on RDF store bindings, and had a binding for Jena. Not 
sure if someone has a pointer to more information on this.
* For the future, integrating ARC (http://arc.semsol.org/) would probably be a 
good option for having a tightly coupled storage binding in SMW.
