Very interesting! This addition would make the approach of creating a class for a relationship that needs annotation more attractive.

As Michael kindly pointed out, this could be an answer to my earlier question about being able to relate an original property (foaf:based_near for example) to a custom class.

I was struck by this comment from Richard Cyganiak:

"It might be interesting to also add some standard properties that can be used on a reified instance to denote its temporal scope, e.g. from when until when the instance is valid. This would provide a fairly natural and unobstrusive method of reconstructing past states of an RDF graph."

I find the thought of having standard properties for valid time (one way or the other) appealing.

I also like to link to http://www.jenitennison.com/blog/node/101, another good read on the subject.
