Dang me. I should have read more closely. Reification. Bah.

In short, we don't support this. Look at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/#reification for the graph that creates.
AFAIK (didn't check, but I'd be highly suprised), the serializer won't 
map that to an rdf:ID on the property element, though.
