IMO, switching foaf:Person to foaf:Agent in such RDF would be sufficient, the fact that (somebody ie a subject) is a Person (ie they have an rdf:type foaf:Person) is often not essential, and generally can be found from more definitive sources than a foaf file that refers to them. It's safe, okay we don't know they know a Person unless we have more info from other files, but that's often the case anyway.
