Indeed, until we closed action-122 the spec even said these were notionally equivalent.  The defining RFC 6903 simply says that the context uri is considered to be an instance of the target uri's abstract semantic type (i.e. it's a good match for rdf:type).  There is no mention of interaction constraints being conveyed.


If you have a graph that said

  <#joe> a :Elephant .

This would tell you quite a lot about how you can interact with <#joe> .

If you copied the graph, would you not have the URLs pointing to the original URL?
So if you had a graph at http://test.example/container/ that said

 <> a ldp:Container

( either in the header or in the document )
and you copied it somewhere else to say http://moved.example/2014/
would that not have 

  <http://test.example/container/> a lpd:Container .

as a triple?

I suppose the issue is to do with moving without resolving the graph, which seems like of course very prone to 
creating bad errors.

The reall issue I think between the information in the header and in the graph, has to do with the header being 
something the server is making a statement about. ( It is server based metadata on the header ).

profile seems more specific. 

	This specification defines the 'profile' link relation type that
allows resource representations to indicate that they are following
one or more profiles.  A profile is defined not to alter the
semantics of the resource representation itself, but to allow clients
to learn about additional semantics (constraints, conventions,
extensions) that are associated with the resource representation, in
addition to those defined by the media type and possibly other
mechanisms.
