Yeah N3 is easier on the eyes but the xml modes available for rdf vs
monochromatic n3 was always a lesser of two evils thing.

Yeah, the SQLish part is pretty small and easy to do since all the N3
stuff is scoped inside the curly brackets.

That part will be cooler because the snippets and macros you could put

The Textmate grand guru is on vaca right now but I'll post to the
Textmate SVN when he returns.  I will be putting up a web page for it
also but only after I get around to installing trac (it's time for me
to say goodbye to Zope).  

Email me direct and I will forward a zip file in the interim.
