Re: Determination of subjects/objects (was: ISSUE-42)

In an effort to making this more precise;-) are the two additional rules
correct?

- the element's corresponding RDF identity is the subject of an
@property when it appears (the object of which follows the usual rules)

- the @src of <img> and the @data of <object> are, in this algorithms,
aliases to @href
