Can you give me a little more detail there?

Maybe we're doing meeting scheduling, and the meeting might be at 9am in 
the Star room or might be at 10am in the Patel room, like this:

GRAPH :g1 { :staffMtg83 :start 2013-09-24T09ET; :location :Star }
GRAPH :g2 { :staffMtg83 :start 2013-09-24T10ET; :location :Patel }
:staffMtg83 :option :g1, :g2.

Something like that?

I agree that's a very interesting use case for datasets.

I don't think it's one that motivates having different properties on the 
same group of triples.  At least not as far as I can see.
