yes, each URI-Reference is supposed to be interpretable as a standalone
object there is no inheritance from the framework (don't kill me for this
I'm not responsible).

Well XML for data is also kind of ridiculous, you end up repeating the
same tags and local structures over and over again. But that didn't prevented

as extra redundant context seems to be considered a good thing, for others
it's an heresy, go figure ....
