IRI versus NamedNode

Dear all,

On Gitter and during the meetings, there is an ongoing discussion on
whether the "thing" that can be a triple subject, predicate, or object
should be referred to as "IRI" or "NamedNode" in the library.

I welcome you to add your arguments here:
https://github.com/rdfjs/representation-task-force/wiki/NamedNode

Best,

Ruben

PS I have added an argument myself in favor of IRI:
https://github.com/rdfjs/representation-task-force/wiki/NamedNode#a-usage-based-argument-for-iri
in which I argue that we are manipulating concrete manifestations of triples (IRIs, literals, blank node labels),
not the conceptual relations they represent (named nodes, literals, blank nodes).
Feedback welcome!
