Annotations with RDF statements

Dear Web Annotation group,

(sorry if this comment has been made already, but I have no time to check...)

At Europeana we have a problem of having a annotation that is an RDF triple.
Previously the Open Annotation model had a whole section about solving this issue by having RDF graphs as bodies:
http://www.openannotation.org/spec/core/publishing.html#Graphs
Actually *precisely* the issue we have now...

The last WA draft has nothing for it. It says in the change log:
"Deprecate embedded graphs as an explicit part of the model, instead just include or reference a serialized graph."

I'm a bit disappointed by the fact there's no strong guidance anymore, as you can guess ;-)
But I can understand the WG perspective: embedding graphs is a tricky matter.
What I'm puzzled by is the text of the spec doesn't even mention something about "include or reference a serialized graph" anywhere, it seems. So even the weak guidance is not part of the spec anymore? Or am I missing anything?

Kind regards,

Antoine
