But as author of the original document, you are the one choosing which
GRDDL transformation should be associated with it. Why would you choose
to associate a transformation so dependent on XInclude semantics when
you have no control over the client processing of the XML document that
you are authoring?

It seems to me that an author that wants unambiguous results will select
a transformation that provides deterministic results. If the
transformation is asociated with a namespace then the author will just
avoid use of that namespace.

I can imagine lots of transformations that are non deterministic such as
result triples that include the time of day. As the document author I'm
free to choose any of those or not as I please.
