Just so *everyone* is cross with me, I do know that some people really want it. I think, also, to my repeated surprise, that the ID on property elements shortcut generates both the triple and its reification. Bleah. I guess there's some naturalness from an RDF/XML point of view argument to be made (however unnatural an argument that might be :)). Cheers, Bijan.
