Re: About the ldp:xyz relationship

A few remarks (I quote the text from the wiki page):

> There is no harm for a client to infer this relationship.

The SPARQL queries does make it look easy, but this is ignoring the
Named Graphs in which the triples are expected to be found, as
ldp:containerResource is expected to introduce an indirection for
where to find the membership triples. The query could be fixed to
reflect that, but that wouldn't look as easy anymore, and URIs should
be hashless.

This is true under the current conditions. My proposal at [1] proposes
another solution to that problem.

I agree.

> Binary/non-RDF resources

Everything is made more complex by the fact that Binary today is not
an LDPR, so you'd have special cases again. My proposals at [2, 3]
try to offer a unified view.
