I guess we cannot do otherwise.
By the way is it purely postponing, if we decide to put something in the
spec about it?

On things puzzles me however: if we say that users shall deal with 
provenance themselves (by using reification, named graphs, whatever) 
then shall we consider that the issue is considered solved and that 
provenance aspects shall not interfere with the resolution of other issues?

 From such a viewpoint, would Jon's argument against the use of BT/NT/RT 
between different schemes still be valid? If the motivation is that BT 
should encode some form of scheme provenance for authority control 
purposes, then we have a case of interference...
