Re: PROV-ISSUE-482: [external question] bundle IDs on insertion, context [prov-dm]

Luc,

I agree that this is inherited. Once you start using URIs you are
bound to their semantics which means they denote the same resource.
Furthermore, I think it would be weird for us to say anything about it
as it's treading on other specs turf.

regards
Paul
