In RDF, saying "about resource='email:765'" won't do this, and you can not say about "about='A and B'". So if you had a processor that could do this, you could not express in RDF anything to distinguish the sandbox from the livebox. That might be OK, but I suspect that it will be useful to deal with more than one "color" of assertions in the future, which this mechanism cannot do. Cheers, Tom P
