Turns out we're totally covered, as pointed out to me by Richard:

"As a general rule, statistics in VoID can always be provided as approximate numbers.”
—http://www.w3.org/TR/void/#statistics

I think that #89 can thus be closed,
and I would suggest to proceed with void:triples in the TPF spec for approximations
(but perhaps additionally recommend a Hydra predicate).

Best,
