What about starting an egroup discussion about 
the design of an RDF API? Someone interested
in setting this up?

My first suggestion: a statement(triple) is no resource!
(A reified statement or a reification is a resource.)

This causes problems with a resource-centric 
API! The RDF spec: There are sets called Resources,
Properties,Literals and Statements. It isn't
said that Statements is a subset of Resources.

Second suggestion: It should be a requirement for
an RDF API to support statement-centric *and*
node-centric methods.
