Re: SYNTAX: RDF/XML Syntax WD work

Of the issue resolutions currently in the draft 1.67 I am only uneasy
with:

       rdfms-not-id-and-resource-attr


           Action: The grammar has[will be] been modified to forbid the
use of an rdf:ID attribute
           when a rdf:resource attribute is also given. This removes an
ambiguity of which
           statement is reified but is relatively harmless since the
statement can be precisely reified
           using the non-empty version of the property element with an
<rdf:Description> block 

I prefer to go other way, to allow an rdf:ID on any propertyElt
production and to uniformly understand it as reifying the triple created
by that propertyElt. (Personally I don't see the ambiguity referred to
in your text).

Is the intent of your text to delete para 232, i.e. we forbid reading
the rdf:ID on some propertyElt's as something other than a reification?

Should your text (the intent) read:
      .... 
       when a rdf:resource attribute is also *possible*. ...
