let's think about a USE of that bag of statements such as

  @prefix rdf: <http//www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>.
  @prefix a:   <http//description.org/schema/>.
  {<http//www.w3.org/Home/Lassila> a:creator "Ora Lassila";
    a:title "Ora Lassila's home page"} :attrbutedTo "Ralph Swick".

>        rdf:truth "0".

an alternative could be

  @prefix rdf: <http//www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>.
  @prefix log: <http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/log#>.
  @prefix a:   <http//description.org/schema/>.
  {<http//www.w3.org/Home/Lassila> a:creator "Ora Lassila"} a log:Falsehood.

and there is no problem to express those
cases in an RDF/XML 1.0 compatible syntax
and the semantics are quite working
