But in the text above, what is "{ :curekitty a animal:Dog }" if not a
graph literal??

My proposal simply aims at making your example above fit into existing
RDF, by interpreting the first line as

  [ rdf:ttl-serialization ":cutekitty a animal:Dog" ]
  :hasGraphIRI "http://example.org/cutekitty"^^xsd:anyURI ;

So it is, IMHO, perfectly compatible with the proposal you mention.
