Re: RDF Issue rdfms-identity-of-statements

What final decision (if any) was made about the other question?

Does the triple
<subject> <predicate> <object>.
entail:
   _:s <rdf:type> <rdf:Statment> .
   _:s <rdf:subject> <subject> .
   _:s <rdf:predicate> <predicate> .
   _:s <rdf:object>    <object> .

as per yours of:
