I'm sorry; I was under the impression that the light and dark universes pretty much never collided (ie, that the result of that merge would be a graph* with one light triple, and one dark triple, the components of each being the same): that is, when drawing RDF, I'd need two different coloured pens. If a triple is _either_ light or dark, but not both, then sure, ok, I'll shut up. jan * for appropriate structures corresponding to the word "graph" -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Scrabble gematria: "BIBLE" = "DOGMA"
