Enjoying the discussion... Adopting the three predicates I suggested (with better names, I hope!) would require just one (set of) change to rdf. Adopting Web Proper Names would require two - 1) Accept that these new kind of names have special significance 2) State what the correct semantics are within rdf for them. One change is is better than two, I would think. So far as being rdf-neutral is concerned, once adopted by rdf, the new predicates would have standard URIs. These URIs could be used by rdf, by topic maps (as Published Subject Identifiers), by RDDL (which uses URIs in the sense of identifiers too), etc. -- Thomas B.
