Modulo some (minor) wording changes and some consolidation of the two
paragraphs, I support this reworking of 4.2. As I said in Carlsbad,
for building real world apps, some kind of data management (variously
known as 'provenance', 'contexts', and 'source') is essential.

To address Rob's point, I don't see 4.2 as contradicting or extending
the RDF data model. 

I'll be moving something very much like Andy's wording into the UC&R
document when I next update it (very soon).
