Is the goal to prohibit content negotiation to other representations?

Referring to named graphs implies an RDF dataset in all specs that refer to named graphs (SPARQL, Trig, RDF Concepts). Are there specific dataset features that you would like to enable in LDP?

I read this as a proposal to change
<https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/ldpwg/raw-file/default/ldp.html#ldp-rdfconcepts-extra-triples-members>
from
[[
The representation of an LDPC can include an arbitrary number of
additional triples whose subjects are the members of the container, or
that are from the representations of the members (if they have RDF
representations). This allows a LDP server to provide clients with
information about the members without the client having to do a GET on
each member individually.

to
[[
The representation of an LDPC MUST NOT include any
additional triples whose subjects are the members of the container, or
that are from the representations of the members (if they have RDF
representations).
