There is nothing useful, over the long term, to come out of dropping 
brackets in regards to IRIs. The purpose of a bracket is to indicate a 
identifier of type Reference, just as we use single and double quotes to 
indicate literals.

Please don't tamper with a long establish method for indicating 
identifier types. W3C standards aren't perfect, but they are the product 
of many years of analysis and deliberation. I don't recall an issues or 
dissents in regard to the use of brackets in regards to indicating 
reference identifier types.
