Containers

I finally took a look at:

>[3] A Proposed Interpretation of RDF Containers -
>     http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/bwm/rdf/issues/containersyntax/

and think it does a pretty good job of cleaning up the messier container 
issues.  I have come to view the RDFM&S constructs as useful, convenient 
ways to present containers whose contents are presented complely within a 
single document.


A comment, for your consideration, concerning rdf:li as an attribute:

Since you allow (example 3):

       [http://foo, rdf:_1, "1"]
       [http://foo, rdf:_1, "1 again"]

why not just map rdf:li as an attribute to rdf:_1?  Then example 4 would be:

        <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://badExample" rdf:li="a" rdf:_3="b"/>

will generate:

         [http://badExample, rdf:_1, "a"]
         [http://badExample, rdf:_3, "b"]

and doesn't have to be viewed as a "bad example".
