To be honest, I don't understand the distinction you are making here between “s” and “statements about s”. Can you give an example?

> The possibility of such triples are, I think, required by section 5.2.1 “A Linked Data Platform Container MUST also be a conformant Linked Data Platform Resource.” Rightly so – I would like to have user-managed metadata in my containers. I should be allowed to use PUT/PATCH to update statements about inlined members, within the container.
