I think I see what you are talking about now. The _:1 blank node is a blank node in the _mapping_ graph. Whereas the blank node defined by the rr:template is a blank node in the _output_ graph. And these can never be the same node since they are in different graphs. (I see now that you originally said this, but I missed it) This confusion is avoided by not allowing the output of the mapping to reference blank nodes from the mapping document itself (i.e. "don't cross the streams"). I think I am on board with your suggestion now. -David
