A third way, as I said in another mail, is to move away from saying RDF
describes RDF 'resources' to saying RDF describes (RFC2396) resources by
their Referents.  Then define 'Referent' to be "That part or view of a
resource which MAY be referred to by a URI reference", and delegate
definitions of resources, URIs, URI references, etc. to RFC2396.  Where
there are any insufficiencies (e.g. URI reference equivalence) put those in
a new RFC or at least a separate W3C Note for wider consumption.

BTW, 'Anonymous referents' would then be defined as "those parts or views of
a resource that may be referred to by a URI reference, which is unspecified
within the current context."
