RDF Issue #rdfms-reification-required

Stefan,

In

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2000Aug/0085.html

you raised an issue which was captured in

   http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#rdfms-reification-required
as

[[[
M&S Spec says that "The Description element itself represents an instance 
of a Bag resource...". Does this mean that a parser MUST create a Bag of 
reified statements for every Description Element?
]]]

As recorded in

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Jan/0095.html

the RDFCore WG resolved:

   a parser is not required to create bags of reified
   statements for all rdf:Description elements, only
   those which are explicitly reified using an rdf:ID
   on a propertyElt or by an RDF:bagID on the
   rdf:Description.

Please could you respond to this message, copying www-rdf-comments@w3.org 
indicating whether this is an acceptable resolution of this issue.
