Yes, I did make that sentence quite confusing :)

What I was attempting to say is that in OSLC-CM V 1.0, the service 
description document is NOT RDF/XML.  Therefore, one should not expect to 
use application/rdf+xml in the Accept: header for the GET request...this 
would result in a 405, unless of course the service provider had their own 
non-OSLC-CM version that was RDF/XML valid.
Long way of saying, we don't support RDF/XML in service descriptor, even 
though some RDF/XML attributes exists in its definition.
