I fully agree with Antoine here.  

I think all arguments given in the document are very good arguments to argue for _allowing_ bodies to be URI resources for those who need them to be. I'm all for that. But I do not buy any of the arguments as a solid argument _disallowing_ literal texts as bodies for those who prefer them to be literals.

I can see problems when you do not allow URI bodies.
I can see problems when you do not allow literal bodies.
But I cannot see what problems arise when you allow both.

PS:  "Representing Content in RDF 1.0" seems like a spec that is dead on arrival… is there any evidence it is not?
