The interpretation is different.
An RDF parser should be allowed to *change* the name
by a one to one mapping in the first case. Of course it should not
be allowed to do this with URI's given by rdf:IDs.

For example the following 'RDF' would be
equivalent

<rdfs:Class rdf:ID="MyClass"> 
  <dc:creator>
    <rdf:Description rdf:anonymous_ID="1">
       <name>Stefan</name>
    </rdf:Description>
  </dc:creator>
</rdfs:Class>

<rdfs:Class rdf:ID="MyClass"> 
  <dc:creator>
    <rdf:Description rdf:anonymous_ID="2">
       <name>Stefan</name>
    </rdf:Description>
  </dc:creator>
</rdfs:Class>

since there is an obvious bijection ;-).
