Another problem is that if I want to say that

http://purl.example.com/#purl owl:sameAs http://bar.com/#bar .

However, http://purl.example.com/#purl is a well maintained persistent 
URI.  With your proposed approach, does that mean that 
http://purl.example.com/#purl should be "dereferenced" just as 
http://bar.com/#bar?
