LOL! You might be interested in the fact, that RDF Reification has just 
been introduced into the current OWL-1.1 draft for mapping the new 
concept of annotated (i.e. commented) axioms to RDF syntax:
     <http://webont.org/owl/1.1/rdf_mapping.html#2>
     Axioms with annotations are reified. If s p o is the RDF
     serialization of the corresponding axiom without
     annotations given in Table 2 and the axiom contains annotations
     Annotation(apIDi cti), 1 ≤ i ≤ n, then, instead of being
     serialized as s p o, the axiom is serialized as follows:
       _:x rdf:type owl11:Axiom
       _:x T(apIDi) T(cti)   1 ≤ i ≤ n
       _:x rdf:subject s
       _:x rdf:predicate p
       _:x rdf:object o
Long live Reification! ;-)
