So, if rdf:value is used *without* mentioning the other property we might 
infer the existence of *some* property that fills that role? e.g.

   bbb rdf:value ccc .
   -->
   aaa ppp ccc .

for some ppp?

permits.   Is there a *minimum* we can say while leaving a crack open for 
this kind of refinement at a later date?)
