There's a third option here:  drop prov:role and just use prov:type, which is 
what Simon's responses point towards.

While I personally have no problem with using prov:role to subtype relations, if 
it causes confusion for others I'd happily go with just prov:type.

I feel the alternative of trying to characterize whether the subtyping is based 
on the subject or the object of the relation is a step towards over-specification.
