address/contact forms can and very often do ask about all kinds of
contacts. "please enter your name", "please enter the name you want this
gift to be shipped to", "please tell us where you will stay when you
arrive". whatever. i'd still be interested how you'd design your "query
the client-side RDF store" approach around these kind of contextual
questions.
