No conflict. Think of it another way. By Danny's reasoning, disambiguation is property centric. We're doing disambugation because we can't be sure URIs are used consistently. So we might as well have said: http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html dc:Creator "Mark Baker" ie, URIs don't get you very much as object values. Btw, this has come up in the past, wrt to dc:creator referring to strings or people as creators. I think some people still insist that dc:creator says a string created the page in the example above.
