Excuse me for asking what might seem to some like a really stupid question.
But suppose then we want to say something about "this literal" ... would we
then write:

<rdf:Description about="This is a litteral">
   <s:propB> Wanna take a bath</s:propB>
 </rdf:Description>

___OR___

<rdf:Description about="thisfile.rdf#genid1">
   <s:propB>Wanna take a bath</s:propB>
 </rdf:Description>
