| You are mistaken. I was in a minority and didn't want to hold up the

Oh, OK. My mistake, then. I thought the issue that the restriction to
a single locator makes it possible for topic map merges to fail (and
that this is the only thing that can cause merging failures) changed
your mind.

| Right, so you do it by using them in a context defined by a
| predicate.

Actually, I'm not convinced that is true. It would be really nice if
it were, but my impression is that seeing

  (uri1, uri2, <whatever>)

doesn't necessarily tell you how to interpret uri1. Sometimes the
rdfs:domain of the property would tell you, but sometimes the
rdfs:domain is rdfs:Resource and then you have no idea.

My temporary conclusion is that the best guide is rdf:type, but
whether this is really is the only guide, and whether it always tells
you what you need to know I don't know yet.
