That is conceptually simple, indeed, but the annotations will require 
revising the SPARQL test cases and changes to the SPARQL syntax.

OK, but in an earlier email I suggested that l3 should be weakened in 
a significant way, which permits a simpler approach to be used. If 
that suggestion is accepted then I think much of this is no longer 
needed.
