[cc's trimmed] I'm with Jeremy here, the problem's economic not technical. If we could introduce subjects-as-literals in a way that: (a) doesn't invalidate any existing RDF, and (b) doesn't permit the generation of RDF/XML that existing applications cannot parse, then I think there's a possible way forward. #g -- BTW, which list is the most appropriate for this discussion? I seem to be getting 4 copies of some messages!
