A reified triple is 1) opaque, if reifier (shown as the fourth component below) is a blank node, and 2) transparent, if reifier is an IRI

What’s the rationale behind this?

This proposal will not support nesting of reifications like the one shown below. My sense is that this type of nesting, that allows reification of a reification and so on, is not needed in practice.

Nested beliefs are examples of the need of nesting. But, on the other hand, why restrict the syntax? Are nested reifications hurting something? Simple entailment and SPARQL BGPs would still be based on simple matching.
