I'm coming into the side of this conversation -- I'm not following the 
TAG directly -- I've just had conversations about this with Jeni, Tim, 
and Stéphane recently.   (Sorry for disappearing yesterday, Stéphane.)  
The reference for "parallel properties" that I know of is my original 
blog post and ISWC lightning talk slide:

    http://decentralyze.com/2010/11/10/simplified-rdf/

I'd approach it slightly differently now, but the basic idea is there.  
It came out of trying to handle Facebook's objection to RDF, which was 
that it was too hard for Web developers / Web authors to manage the 
distinctions between strings, datatyped values, URLs for web content, 
and IRIs denoting arbitrary resources.   In the design of the Open Graph 
Protocol they avoided making such distinction.   I thought about that, 
and realized it could still be seen as carrying the same information, if 
one just considers those distinctions embedded into the predicate.
