What I am about to say is a tad provocative, but wouldn't it be nice  
if bNodes *were actually* local names? Aligning nicely with their  
dominant interpretation and implementation?

I certainly wouldn't mind a RIF mode or flag that supported  
interpreting bNodes as local names. That would conflict with the RDF  
semantics spec, but accord with common understanding and practice.
