wait, do you mean

?

Hmmm, not sure I like this, I mean what is the benefit of having
<> <
http://www.acme.com> "ACME Inc."
the href is clearly used as an object in the first statement and *then*
as a predicate in the second... I would never want this.

Paolo,
I think you should make it a little bit more clear of what are your
goals, I mean what are the statements that you consider valuable and
then question how to create a UI that makes that simple to intract with
and what is the best way to encode that into XHTML.
I'm sure it's all clear in your head, but it would help the conversation
here.
