Simply, that some implementations (increasingly more as time progresses 
I'd imagine) will internally support generalized triples, for the 
reasons you've noted earlier - which could lead to implementations that 
have all the functionality required for generalized triples (and thus 
current RDF API draft), but do not expose it to end users (via the API).

aside: noticed that the term "generalized triples" seems to have caught 
on well recently - helps to have a name to use

Best,
