you're right that the server could rewrite the request RDF (maybe based 
on the Slug URI also provided) and thus transform the suggested RDF into 
the actual RDF being persisted. i think this works on a technical level, 
but i think it would be a rather odd way of handling things. but that's 
certainly just my personal view.
