Re: making statements about the lexical form of a URI

When you name a resource with an uri you're making  statements about the
named resources not about the name, of foo:uriLength could be defined as
"the subject is named by at least one Uri reference with the length this
property point to". But if you want to make statements about a specific IRIs
then you should make them about the literal with  the IRI as value
(xsd:anyURI).
