Re: pfps-15 say anything quote

The changes to RDF Primer make it much better in this area.  

I would put the caveat paragraph for containers earlier in that section, to
make it more prominent.  Similarly for collections, reification, and
rdf:value. 

I wish that the Primer didn't use URI references without fragment IDs so
much.  I think that it would also be a good idea to use the redirected
versions of the DC elements, as they are URI references with fragment
identifiers.
