Well we can dereference foaf:knows to find out what it means. This is
the canonical way to find it's meaning, and is the initial
procedure we
should use to arbitrate between competing understandings of its
meaning.
Right. The document you get upon dereferencing -- the "follow your
nose" document -- acts as a URI declaration.[1]

Just to clarify, that is David's idea and his suggestion. It seems
like a sensible idea, in many ways. It seems to reflect some current
practice. But it is not part of the current RDF spec., and it is
controversial.
