Re: Subject lists in SPARQL

I don’t understand the example or the goal.

This is clear.

Er.. not so much. Let me try reformatting:

	foaf:Bob foaf:phone ?phone1;
	foaf:John	                 ?phone2.

Well, that syntax would be dreadful (as ambiguous) and not super readable (contrary to the first one). I guess you could add a pro-predicate.

	foaf:Bob foaf:phone ?phone1;
	foaf:John	 ^^^           ?phone2.

That could be general purpose so the first example was sugar for:

	?x  foaf:name  ?name ;
        ^^^      foaf:mbox  ?mbox .

I don’t see the value.

Why not? What’s the use case?
