That's a fair summary.

|  The distinction doesn't exist in RDF.

| ultimately about the what's specified in the MT.

Not when I speak of RDF. The MT is just a specification, and alone it
doesn't do anything. A view of RDF that ignores the use of RDF is not
very interesting.

Go back to <m3fzx8qzmt.fsf@p...>, and read it
again, this time substituting "RDF as used in applications" for every
mention of "RDF" without qualifications like "core RDF" or "RDF
model". Also pay attention to Simon's complaint, which started the
whole thing.

I think that should clear things up.
