In rdf/base/src/nsRDFXMLDataSource.cpp:753

// We don't accept assertions unless we're writable (except in the
// case that we're actually _reading_ the datasource in).

This is inconvenient, and I would really like to be able to Flush() RDF data
sources back to http URLs as I can already for file URLs. The TODO list for that
file says:

"Eventually, it'd be great if we could open an arbitrary nsIOutputStream on
*any* URL, and Netlib could just do the magic."

I don't know how realistic that is, but there doesn't seem to be an RFE for it
in Bugzilla, so this is that RFE. In particular it would be nice if Flush() on
an RDF source wrote the (edited) contents back via HTTP-POST or something.
