(In which case, is the > question just a matter of scale?) You are asking me if 'local technical simplification' is a good reason or a bad reason for duplicating URIs? Uh, I guess it depends... My point was this: The key benefits of URI re-use can also be obtained by minting your own URIs and linking them to existing URIs via adequate RDF properties. And that practice can have additional practical/implementation benefits (and costs). Hence, consider both options; there's no reason to knee-jerk against creating new identifiers.
