no, no, no - that's my whole point!  - things one wants in the graph 
go in RDFS:comment -- i.e. you need them to round trip.  Things one 
adds as "comments" in the traditional programming language sense 
should be lost (i.e. when you roundtrip C code the comments are lost) 
and thus should be in XML comments instead!
