Yes, if we agree that an RDF identity *exists* only when a @rel,@rev,
@instanceof, or @about appears :)

In a telecon, we leaned towards not specifying anything for @data at
this point, simply because there may be many ways to resolve this, and
it's not clear it's really necessary. Is this really important to you?
Is there a use case?

I just responded to this, and I think there is at least one issue to
consider.

Well, there is a way, which is to explicitly say rdf:_1, etc... I know
it's ugly, but I'm starting to really worry about the _: notation. It
doesn't seem good to me.

I think we will do this in parallel, at least with one implementation
(mine). Thanks for keeping track of all of these developments!
