So what would it take to build a case to do that and rough
concensus in rdfi in support.  W3C are not going to trash
a recommendation just because we might have done it
differently.  There needs to be a case made.

Seems to me we would need:

  o a concensus interpretation of what m&s actually says
  o a statement of the issue
  o an analysis of the ways of resolving the issue
  o a recommendation

I would expect W3C to be strongly biased in favour
of resolutions that are compatible with the existing
spec, if such resolutions exist.  In this case such
a resolution does exist - propose a new resource
type to represent a stating.
