transparency and entailment

There was some discussion of transparency in the semantics call today, with 
disagreement over just what transparency means.

My view is that transparency (for well-formed graphs) means that entailments 
are exactly the same if a subject, predicate, or object in a quoted triple is 
replaced by a semantically identical identifier.  So if an option for << e | s 
p o >> is transparent in D-entailment then

<< :e | :s :p "4"^^xsd:integer >> :a :b .

entails

<< :e | :s :p "04"^^xsd:integer >> :a :b .

in that option.
