I agree, why a URI? and why invent a new identifier (possibly getting all kinds of duplicates over time and creating a management nightmare) when often people/machines have already given nodes a form of reference/identifier? Why turn _:b1 in to some new uri, when often you could just say that _:b1 is short for http://example.org/doc#[_:b1] ? (which isn't a valid IRI but does have all the beneficial properties of an IRI) Best, Nathan
