Oh, thinking about this some more reminded me of something. One (alternative) way to serialize axiom annotations would be to embed them in XMLLiterals. Then it'd be quite easy to have URIs (or not) for axioms (though this identity would be independent of the content...yuck!) Of course, axioms with annotations right now are reified, offering (in RDF/XML) easy ways of adding URIs. If it didn't get mapped to an annotation, we'd have to add something to the functional syntax to make this roundtrippable. I guess the advantage of the former over the latter in this context is that it'd be more plausible to make it the default, in some sense. At least, I find it so. The last time I went down this route (in OWL-S) it got ultimately rejected because rdf toolkits don't seem to deal well with RDF in literals. Too bad. Cheers, Bijan.
