We thought of that. But slipping in such a huge change to RDF in an existing syntax wasn't where we ended up. I noticed that Named Graphs extends RDF in at least two ways: 1) RDF triple subjects can be literals 2) RDF triples are quads (sic) so it's really Named non-RDF Graphs. For reference, RDF triples are defined at http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-concepts-20040210/#dfn-rdf-triple starting "An RDF triple contains three components:" Dave
