Just to be difficult, sometimes the subject causes the triples to be
generated. e.g.
<div resource="[foaf:Person]">
<p property="ex:note">Here are some foaf:Persons.</p>
<ul rev="rdf:type">
<li src="#alice" property="foaf:name">Alice</li>
<li src="#bob" property="foaf:name">Bob</li>
<li src="#carol" property="foaf:name">Carol</li>
</ul>
</div>
Though in that particular case, the subject node is probably more
useful to return!
And to answer Manu's question, yes, this technique does satisfy me. It
might not always return the best possible node, but at least it's a
fairly simple and predictable rule. We need to explicitly state it
somewhere though!
