Ah, so (just checking I understood what I'm reading) it's a relative  
of RDF Reification, but I'm guessing this also implies the triple it  
describes?

One thing that strikes me about it is that (as in RDF Reification) you  
can't make assertions things about a set of triples. I'm not sure  
whether that matters or not though.

Sure, there's no general mapping from a triple to its reified form if  
you do it this way. I guess if you try to make it generic then you end  
end up with RDF Reification, c.f. the problem :)

Well... that's arguable. You can put your statement(s) of interest in  
a different file and refer to it:

file:1
    <http://example.org/a> a foaf:Document.
    <file:2> :confidence 0.4 .

file:2
    <http://example.org/a> :similarTo <http://example.org/b> .

But yeah, hardly convenient.
