see above...
btw: yesterday  i learned about a company here in town that indeed uses 
jackrabbit as an rdf-store.

i don't know how far the componentization of mulgara holds in practice but 
would it be imaginable to integrate it's central components in jackrabbit? 
and since with XA2 a good part of these central components get rewritten 
anyway, maybe the "rewriting the whole thing" in the context of a 
jackrabbit integration becomes thinkable? well, just an idea... (and one 
possible way to tackle the file based resolver issue)
