In our pending manuscript, we sort of favor the container solution as the simplest multiplicity disambiguation. Maybe for this rdf:Bag would be more appropriate even though, I believe, there is no formal difference from the ordered containers. This might be more lightweight than the CompositeAnnotation Paolo suggests in parallel email.
