Not at all, they can be mixed and matched, with the exception of "TERMs 
with colons" and CURIEs, those two can't be mixed together.

Yes, that's what I've been getting at when I say "RDF Goggles", the 
terms for proeprties bit is easy, setting a subject should be an easy 
hit too, datatyping may be a little tricky, likewise language - I'll
