Dear all,

I have written a proposal for basing quotation and annotation upon
"blank graphs'" (graphs named by bnodes):

    https://gist.github.com/niklasl/4f52c32ef2d888c172c8584e36c24610

While I am rather convinced (by the various concerns raised) that this
is the right direction, it represents a fairly drastic change (for
RDF-star, that is; not for RDF 1.1). I did not approach it lightly,
having thought long and hard about where we are, and (carefully, I
hope) weighing alternatives, for many months, if not years.

If there is interest, I can introduce it during the WG or Semantics TF
telecon this week.

Best regards,
Niklas
