Re: Multigraphs example proposal in RDF 1.1 Primer

Option 1 works for me. I like option 2 better but I also see that it would probably get too complicated to explain in a primer. 

I would prefer to also add a slightly stronger warning to option 1, something like this at the end of the paragraph:

"Note however that RDF provides no way to convey this semantic assumption to other readers of the dataset."
