Opinion from the peanut gallery: Given the RFC 2396 definition of
"resource", how could it be otherwise? While RDF does not adopt this
definition literally (there's some issues with fragments, I believe), it
does follow its spirit. Unless and until computers start having human
insights into abstract human concepts, how can they decide what a resource's
subject "is"?
