In general, you really want to be able to have additional levels of qualification. For instance, MUO has the ability to assert units of measure on n-ary observations, as well as to provide prefUnit annotations on properties. An ontology that generates property URIs for every quality and unit of measure would be huge and very cumbersome, and I think the consensus is to annotate your own properties with units of measure.
