My two cents: I don't think it makes sense to have two different things in the language that mean the same thing. It causes confusion (witness the issue itself) and encourages applications to use it from application-only semantics that will be blind to RDF parsers (witness PRISM). I still think we should either deprecate one or add a model representation to it. -- [ "Aaron Swartz" ; <mailto:me@aaronsw.com> ; <http://www.aaronsw.com/> ]
