Good question, and it took me a bit of time to remember the reasoning
here (Mark helped, as he often does with these more advanced cases.)
The idea is that the structure of the blank nodes is only decided by
@rel and @rev. So in fact, @property does *not* do the same thing. @href
completes the hanging @rel, and @property applies to @href.
You might want to rewrite it this way to make it clearer:
<div about="" rel="dc:creator">
<a href="ben.html" property="foobar">Ben</a> created this page.
</div>
And you get:
<> dc:creator <ben.html> .
<ben.html> foobar "Ben" .
And you can see from this example why this is more useful than having
@property prevent the @rel completion.
