(Just a reminder, my name is Jeroen, not Jerone ;))

I've personally not used it before, but accoding to the RDF schemathere
are the following options (see example below):
- rdf:Bag containing numbered items (rdf:_1, rdf:_2, ...) which are
actually taken as unordered items.
- rdf:Bag containing unnumbered items like HTML lists (rdf:li)
- rdf:Seq contains unnumbered items like HTML lists (rdf:li), which are
supposed to be read in order.

I must say I'm a bit amazed by the last option since XML doesn't seem to
support ordering.

For completeness, there's also a rdf:Alt class for providing alternate
options, which also uses rdf:li
