 From my reading of your proposal, it also seems to me that this 
az-entails is compatible with SPARQL-star,
and for that reason I like it very much (1) :)

Indeed, to answer Peter's question about "what do you want", I think 
"being compatible with the current definition of SPARQL-star" should be 
high on our list. Because SPARQL-star has been largely implemented 
already, and if many people do not really care about the subtleties of 
the semantics, I believe they care about SPARQL.

Which of course does not mean that we should not /also/ look closely at 
use cases!

(1) Also, I find the definition of the proposed semantics quite elegant, 
especially how it nicely extends to az-RDF reificaion interpretations. 
Kudos.
