I don't see a problem with the excerpt above. Like most things about 
RDF, the lost visibility induced by RDF/XML made many key concepts near 
impossible to explain and demonstrate. I remain confident that statement 
reification feature of RDF, as it currently exists, will soon become 
very useful and appreciated. With RDF you have to think like a wine 
maker, in due course things simply get better for the customer.

A world devoid of SPARQL dominated by RDF/XML (rather than Turtle) is 
not one that many were unable to comprehend or appreciate. Times are 
changing. We sign statements in the real-world using hand written 
signatures. We can also do so in the Web realm via RDF, in its current 
form i.e., I would just add a triple to capture an RSA signature blob 
(using a data: or http: scheme URI) .
