Ideally, the RDF will continue talking about triples (i.e. a minimum amount of change to the RDF Semantics), and the quad based serialisation will be standardised in order to allow interoperability between SPARQL stores. 

this is where the discussion on dataset and the resolution we passed on the nature of sparql dataset has an effect. *if* the goal of Trig is to serialize SPARQL stores, then this cannot (directly) be the same syntax that we might define (if we define it, that is) for named g-boxes.

Sigh...
