I agree - at least without OWL.  I thought what Adam wanted was someway 
to remove either :_a or :_b.

With the merge example I thought you were doing just that.  So it's not 
okay to merge:

{[http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label] #(new Resource()) 
"Intellidimension Inc."}

with:

{[http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label] 
[http://www.intellidimension.com] "Intellidimension Inc."}

They're [predicate, subject, object], right?  You should get both 
statements in the merged model.
