Ron sent our reasons for preferring this solution in another email message.
(I reiterated them in yet another message.) There are other considerations
in addition to OWL DL safety.

In Dan's view, it won't matter, since he's argued that if a term acts
substantively like a URI, then it's not anonymous in some important sense
(which is, I think, a legitimate position -- I just don't think you *have*
to see it that way).
I'm satisfied with a purely syntactic hack (I won't say "sugar"), but others
don't seem to be.

I don't know. There are other reasons why filter & protocol solutions aren't
ideal in our view (basically, skepticism about implementation acceptance and
excessive generality & power, respectively).
