I have a question regarding from named and graph pattern. What happens 
when the graph pattern first argument is an URI that does not belong to 
the from named list (here, URI3) :

FROM NAMED URI1
FROM NAMED URI2
select * where {
    graph ?src { PAT }
    graph URI3 { PAT }
}


My question is : does the graph URI3 pattern fail ? I think that it is 
not easy to answer this question.

The paragraph below seems to say that it should fail because D[IRI] is 
not  in D ? Is it what we want ?

12.5 Evaluation Semantics

Definition: Evaluation of a Graph Pattern

eval(D(G), Graph(IRI,P)) = eval(D(D[IRI]), P)


Best regards,
