I'm not sure I understand this advice-- are you saying that because no 
DatasetGraph can be assumed to support MR, there isn't any point in trying to 
support MR at the level of DatasetGraphWithRecord? That would seem to make my 
whole effort a bit pointless.

Or are you saying that because, in practice, all DatasetGraphs _do_ support MR, 
there's no need to enforce it at the level of DatasetGraphWithRecord?
