As I hope people won't be publishing datasets, there really isn't any
problem with this. Really, we have to preserve the triple format as the
standard way of publishing data on the Web. Datasets should only be an
exchange format and data model for systems that manage data.
If we ever see the emergence of datasets as the dominant way of
publishing data online, then we face the problem of having to
compartiment datasets from different sources, and go for N-Quints and
define Dataset-sets and reiterate all the hard work of this WG later.
Once you acknowledge this, you understand that the "named" graphs inside
the datasets are just saying "there is an RDF graph containing those
triples, it is labelled with this 'name' and we don't care whether it is
asserted or not". Do we care whether a relational table is "asserting"
something in a database?
