If { a rel b } infers { b is rel of a }, and b can be a literal in the
first statement, then b must also be a literal in the second statement.
Whether or not a specific dl or serialization supports the full set of
statements that can be made, or a subset of those, is a different issue
all together, a serialization of a dl, cannot determine the real world,
it cannot assert that { "Joel" is the name of :joel } cannot be said, it
can only confess that it doesn't provide a way to say that.
Best,
