I consider "#" to be part of a URI, so yes, my proposal is an odd
mixture.  In general, I favor the context approach; the proposal [7]
is a hopefully-clever hack to allow RDF to have disambiguated
identifiers without any change to the syntax or formal semantics.
(The only change is to the social meaning of identifiers.)
