Soprano is not a redland binding as such. It is a generic RDF framework which 
happens to have a redland backend. I think that is a difference. :)

Also Soprano uses QT4 as it is the solution used in KDE. This is probably a 
problem for Dave and Sebastian but a necessity for KDE.

So in the end the only way we could cooperate is by using one of the other 
bindings to implement the redland backend for Soprano. And since the backend 
is already done I see no reason to add another layer in between.
