Is that correct? Well it is in the sense that the second @href is indeed 
switched off, but isn't it true that you would get a

<#ben> foaf:knows [] .

triple instead? The existence of @rel means that (in the second <a>) the 
[new subject] will be set to the BNode sent down from <div> 
(representing the hanging @rel) which will then complete it...

I may be wrong, though.
