Ok.

compatibility.

Good point; I didn't see that before. When you find time, could you list
the other motivations also?

Yes, but that is clearly not in conflict with the abstract syntax,
because N3 uses RDF reification.

I know that RDF reification is problematic because it is de re; I
understand why you want to provide an alternative. It's just that
amending the abstract syntax is not a small step and so I'm interested
in the motivations, how it should be implemented, &c.
