Re: [poe] Compatibility with common patterns for linking assets to policies

About allowing: `<http://example.com/policy:01> odrl:permission odrl:present `
Pros: 
- A policy can be described as a resource (policy01) with a set of properties and values. Ideal for lazy implementors, easy storage/processing (a policy as a POJO, stored in a single table in a relational database, or in a couple of columns in a CSV file).  
- Easy understandability, "less lines in a powerpoint": nobody will be able to say "I dont understand simple ODRL policies". Developers of the world happy.

Cons:
- An extra burden for rigorous implementors, who will need to implement another branch to evaluate policies (big "if").
- The lack of elegance of specifying two manners to do the same
- An additional source of contradictions (but already possible)

@simonstey Am I missing anything else?
I would like this to hear more opinions, but indeed I am ok for "minimising issues and complications"
