Of course, the backwards compatibility issue would *not* automatically go away by replacing RDF reification with a shadow vocabulary. Such an approach would only make it easier to allow RDF reification for custom usage, because such a use would then not collide with the use of reification as syntax vocabulary. The current situation is that *all* RDF vocabulary is disallowed in the WDs, regardless whether some RDF URI is used as OWL 2 syntax or not. So we actually have this backward compatibility issue, independently on the question, how axiom annotations are encoded. But this is a different issue from ISSUE-67, of course. Michael
