I agree, but I dont think youre going to get that from many compliant
implementations. 3store, in its standard compliance mode will require
GRAPH [] { ?p rdf:type rdf:Property . }
c.f. complaints from me about the implications of the default graphs
situation. If you store inferred triples like that in the background graph
then you have no way to determine thier provenance and/or it breaks
orthogonality with the other grpahs.
