I'm not sure we mean the same thing by hash URIs.  I was talking about 
hash URIs as in http://wordnet.princeton.edu/rdf#entity versus non-hash 
URIs as in http://wordnet.princeton.edu/rdf/entity.  I do not see how 
the difference relates to file size.  BTW, the current files are using 
hash URIs:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF [
    <!ENTITY wn 'http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wn#'>
    <!ENTITY rdf 'http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#'>
    <!ENTITY rdfs 'http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#'>
]>

<rdf:RDF  xmlns:wn="&wn;" xmlns:rdf="&rdf;" xmlns:rdfs="&rdfs;" 
xml:lang="en">
<wn:Word rdf:about="&wn;entity"
    wn:lexicalForm="entity">
  <wn:sense rdf:resource="&wn;entity-n-1"/>
</wn:Word>

I do not see how you can safe space by changing the URIs.

I'm missing something here.  Can you elaborate on this?
