To me, he was asking, in effect, which version of reification we want, not 'how do we think M+S reification works'. So your answer isn't quite an answer, just a rephrasing: > if we want to go the way that a statement is a functional > property of a triple, then the answer to your question is YES Question remains: do we want this? I think we all agree that the spec currently has wording that supports both views. BTW, having talked to Ralph, Ora and other members of the original Working Group, I'm pretty sure there was no clear original decision on this issue: the problem only came to light after the spec became a W3C REC.
