None of those is the critical one.
The ciritical one is: partial understanding, as explained in [extlang].
Briefly: the common syntax of RDF allows agents of various
capabilities to extract the same set of facts from a document.
If, in order to introduce properties and classes
(such as disjointWith or UnambiguousProperty)
we have to change our syntax for stating facts, we lose this.
