Hang on a minute. The distinction doesn't exist in RDF. I'm not
disputing it exists elsewhere. 

In no uncertain terms, the fact that an identifier used in RDF is
deferenceable is a coincidence. RDF does not have a hypertext retrieval
model a la the web; this 'feature' has been discussed  to death on the
RDF lists. 

What foaf or anything else build on RDF, does with links in the interim
are their own business, more  power to them I say. But when it gets to
code that infers over an RDF graph, the applications you're talking
about are working with identifiers.
