Yes re. the principles in play. Of course, modulo RDF and SPARQL 
specificity re. point #3 :-)

What he outlined in the original meme since I still hold the position 
that #3 compromises the original GOLDEN meme. But that's a distracting 
detail at this juncture.

I am not saying or inferring that.

I think he planned (clearly depicted in the WWW proposal diagram) what 
he described in his original Linked meme. We have a Web of resources 
connected by links that facilitate a variety of relations. The relations 
in question cover:

1. Loose references to named entities
2. Citations and References
3. Explicit Entity Descriptions
4. Explicit Definitions of Classes and Properties that ultimately add 
semantic fidelity to relations.
