I suggest that this is currently an unresolved issue.  Its great
to have a glossary, but it should remain neutral on topics that
are not resolved.

I'm sorry if I'm sounding like a broken record on this, but I
believe what m&s says is that a reified statement represents
a statement.

I've been interpreting that to mean that any property which is
true of a statement is true of any reified statement which
represents it, and vice versa.  It must therefore be true of 
any other reified statement representing that same statement.

In other words, if RS1 and RS2 are reified statements representing
the same statement S, the (p, RS1, o) => (p, RS2, o).
