That last paragraph I find completely acceptable
and for our machines only the concrete RDF syntax matters
and the abstract syntax is only a means to that end.

(Aside)
Annotations should be in all OWL levels and their meaning should
be the same as what the triples mean in RDF model theory.
That's what I meant that we cannot take that meaning out.
