Pat-- Thanks for the review. Looking at the alternatives to deal with your niggle, I think I prefer your "strictly correct wording"; I'm afraid, for example, that saying something like "the subject of the statement is the URI reference 'exproducts:item10245'..." might cause someone to think we *were* supporting quoting. Since we're not doing anything silly like publishing new WDs :-) I'll go ahead and make this change in a revised editor's draft. --Frank pat hayes wrote: > Frank, overall the section on reification reads beautifully.
