Indeed the document[1] reads: """ rdfms-difference-between-ID-and-about What is the difference between using and ID attribute to 'create' a new resource and an about attribute to refer to it?

Do you think the text above (currently in the editor's working draft[1]) is enough to qualify for closing the issue? > Any objections to giving this a try.
