No, so that semEnglish can be nested inside XML easily... N3 still
can't.

Plus it means we can now use XPath quite easily! I suppose that to
refer to the same document now, you must use ''? That's two
apostrophies, but it looks like a double quote. May I therefore
suggest a single character of whitespace be added in between:-

     ' ' writtenBy Sean .

daml:equivalentTo

   <> :writtenBy :Sean .

In N3.
