There are two variations of addressing this use case, in ways other than 
David's proposals.

a) If the document is being served from the Web, and the publisher is 
not able to come to an out-of-band agreement with the intended consumers 
about how to manage the variability then:
   - the publisher should do server side processing to produce the 
'unambiguous' RDF
   - this can be published using content negotiation for application/rdf+xml

b) If the document is not being served from the Web, then it is inside 
some other application. This application then could set its local policy 
for GRDDL aware agents so that these particular goals are achievable.

I believe part b) is applicable to XML messaging pipeline use case, 
which I think covers all of the use cases David has presented.
