I'm not sure about Richard, by my answer is: anyone can add another
triple by publishing it on the Web (and perhaps taking other steps to
make sure it is findable).
The restriction on the fourth column is that the fourth column is the
web address of a place (a g-box) currently serving that triple.
(That's the architecture I'm arguing for in this morning's post to
public-rdf-prov [1].)
The issue about completeness is that if I want to say, as in [1], that I
agree or disagree with a statement (or otherwise build on it), it's
important the readers see the whole statement (or know that they are
seeing only a partial statement). It's even more important for me to
know if I'm seeing the whole statement before I say if I agree.
