Related notes:

2007-07-10: closed with the following resolution: "XHTML1.1+RDFa does not provide any compact syntax to enable reification. If some RDF-based notation exists for reification, there may be a way to express such graphs in XHTML1.1+RDFa, but the spec will not make any effort to simplify it or provide syntactic sugar."
