A couple of things. I'm off sick with sore throat (and lost my voice); regrets for the call. Reification: since I can't talk, have to say it here. Some people have suggested that allowing multiple rdf:Statement members with same p/s/o goes against Model and Syntax, in large part because M&S uses the word 'the' when talking about 'the' reification of some triple. I find this objection rather easy to brush off, due (as Pat mentioned) to M&S's general murkiness around use/mention, and around the question of whether it is talking about the graph represented in some RDF/XML document versus 'the one big graph' of all true triples. I don't believe this is an area where M&S taken overall has a clear view, despite a few sentences making seemingly crisp claims. While we have a duty not to deviate too far from the 1999 spec, we shouldn't treat M&S as a holy text. I would be happy seeing this escalated for W3C-directorial advice, anyhow.
