I am still not hearing any argument to justify the costs of literals as subjects I have loads and loads of code, both open source and commercial that assumes throughout that a node in a subject position is not a literal, and a node in a predicate position is a URI node. Of course, the "correct" thing to do is to allow all three node types in all three positions. (Well four if we take the graph name as well!) But if we make a change, all of my code base will need to be checked for this issue. This costs my company maybe $100K (very roughly) No one has even showed me $1K of advantage for this change. It is a no brainer not to do the fix even if it is technically correct Jeremy
