On the other hand many tools group statements in some way, usually for management purposes, and some even allow meta data to be attached to these groups, graphs, models, or whatever they are called. The problem, in my opinion, is that the standard way to exchange this kind of data requires writing every group of statements into a separate file, which may not always be practical. This is not necessarily a problem with the RDF data model, but a problem with the serialization syntax, and one of many issues a future version will hopefully address.
