The interpretation is different.
An RDF parser should be allowed to *change* the name
by a one to one mapping in the first case. Of course it should not
be allowed to do this with URI's given by rdf:IDs.
For example the following 'RDF' would be
equivalent
<rdfs:Class rdf:ID="MyClass">
<dc:creator>
<rdf:Description rdf:anonymous_ID="1">
<name>Stefan</name>
</rdf:Description>
</dc:creator>
</rdfs:Class>
<rdfs:Class rdf:ID="MyClass">
<dc:creator>
<rdf:Description rdf:anonymous_ID="2">
<name>Stefan</name>
</rdf:Description>
</dc:creator>
</rdfs:Class>
since there is an obvious bijection ;-).
Greetings,
Stefan
