Re: Proposal to resolve ISSUE-81

Hi Peter,

The proposed resolution reduces 2 problems to 1. I believe the repair  
for Issue-67, which has to do with axiom annotation is to have the  
serialization include the the triples being reified, in additional to  
the reification triples. I'll submit a proposal to resolve along  
those lines.
