Yes, I realize that you were asking Richard, but I'm a bit forward, as
we know. I do NOT see a description as atomic in the sense that a
record is atomic. A record has rigid walls, a description has
permeable ones. A description always has the POTENTIAL to have a bit
of unexpected data added; a record cuts off that possibility.

That said, I am curious about the permeability of the edges of a named
graph. I don't know their degree of rigidity in terms of properties
allowed.
