I think it's fine to educate people that it's not a good idea, but with the
current understanding and use of RDF I think we should allow it to be
legitimate RDF which *can* be interpreted as the designers intended.
I think it's a fair trade-off that a fully-generic RDF processor
(reasoner?) cannot access the intended meaning without supplying some
additional information, which may be awkward to do.
So the statememt:
<http://www.ninebynine.org/> dc:creator "Graham Klyne" .
should be allowed to be consistent with:
<http://www.ninebynine.org/> dc:creator
[ a foaf:Person ; foaf:name "Graham Klyne" ] .
even if it doesn't, of itself, convey the same information.
