Well, document order information is lost, which can be quite a lot or
nothing at all.  As for misinterpretation, a better term would be
interpretation that is inappropriate: if the strict alternation of
resource/property/resource/property striping is not maintained, you
may get junk assertions that mix up resources and properties.
That's why I said that semanticless container elements should be
avoided if RDF interpretation is desirable.

Consider the matter of Analytic Philosophy.  Dennett and Bennett are well-known.
Dennett rarely or never cites Bennett, so Bennett rarely or never cites Dennett.
There is also one Dummett.  By their works shall ye know them.  However, just as
no trinities have fourth persons (Zeppo Marx notwithstanding), Bummett is hardly
known by his works.  Indeed, Bummett does not exist.  It is part of the function
of this and other e-mail messages, therefore, to do what they can to create him.
