Err, is the sense that all metadata files will be preserved? That a 
metadata file represents a named or even an unnamed graph is interesting 
but not really the point is it?

So, suggest: "Applications that read and write documents should preserve 
all metadata files."

Yes, metadata files do represent graphs but that really isn't essential 
to the point I think we are trying to make.

Hope you are having a great day!
