Re: datasets mean their default graphs?

OK, lets try to find a better way to word it. The point we need to get across is that a dataset can be treated just as an uninterpreted data structure, but *if* it is used to convey RDF content then at a minimum, it must be understood to be asserting its default graph. Sandro thinks, and I agree, that this is an essential condition to have in order to support vocabulary-based semantic extensions. 

Got a better way to word it?
