I haven't had the benefit of direct conversation with TimBL on this topic, 
but based on his design issues "toolbox" paper I *think* he is claiming 
that negation can be defined using reification *and* introducing some new 
externally-defined concept;  i.e. that base RDF alone is not 
sufficient.  Which is what I understand you to be saying.
