That is my inclination too.  But Jonas's example [1] troubles me.   I think we
need both types of reified statements - ones that are intended to be folded
together and ones that are not.    Kind of like classes and instances, names
and proper names, anonymous resources and URI named resources.  I think
storing 4 triples works best for the former and using IDs on property elements
works best for the latter.  Am I off base?
