The object of an RDF statement must be a resource or a literal.  Whilst M&S
does not specifically say that resources and statements are disjoint, it is
my interpretation of that they are disjoint, on the grounds that M&S
specifically states that properties are a subset of resources, but omits
making that assertion about statements.

Consequently, if you accept this interpretation, a statement cannot
be the object of another statement in the RDF defined by M&S 1.0
