[snip] As we've had a lengthy discussion of the implementation burden of having or lacking the extra triple, we should definitely pay attention to the quirks of RDF/XML. While it doesn't change the worst case, the existence of an extremely compact version of the extra triple matters for performance, authoring, etc....it just turns out not to be especially useful unless we change other bits. Thus, appealing to rdf:ID on property elements is not a costless benefit of adding the explicit triple. Cheers, Bijan.
