I think the key is the naming scheme. By adopting URIs as the naming
system for all the object instances on a device, RDF can naturally
be used. (But I think we would still need quite some XML schema 
definitions to describe the structure of complex objects.)

Anyway, since you seem to have concrete experience, I think it would be 
nice if you can post a more concrete description of what you are doing
so we all can read and learn.
