Even though this thread is old, it is important to me to understand, why 
the above example leads to the conclusion, that the first approach offers
more granularity than the second one.
 From my point of you, there are no objections to write:

<text:p xml:id="myBook">
My favorite books is from Tolkien! It's ISBM is <text:span 
xml:id="isbn">8th</text:span> it has <text:span 
xml:id="pages">1154</text:span> pages
</text:p>

... and in the RDF/XML:

<rdf:Description rdf:about="content.xml#myBook">
  <ex:author rdf:resource="http://ex.net/people/Tolkien"/>
  <ex:isbn rdf:resource="content.xml#isbn"/>
  <ex:pages rdf:resource="content.xml#pages"/>
</rdf:Description>

where the "words" '8th' and '1154' are  tagged  with an individuell 
xml:id  and being referenced  as objects inside the above rdf statements.

Are there any implications, I did not consider ?


Happy new year
