Jeremy,

I agree with you that this is a better way to encode the information. The  
W3C's Evaluation and Repair Tools group (Bcc'ed for information) is  
looking at how to do this for the EARL specification [1], and my thinking  
is that what you propose is more correct than simply asserting that an  
rdf:resource is equivalent to the thing that you get from the web at the  
corresponding URI.
