The text you cite talks about blank node *identifiers*, the often 
crazy-looking strings that are created by Jena or the OWL API to 
represent  blank nodes, and which often happen to be different after an 
RDF graph is parsed from a file and then written back to another file.

The text does not talk about the blank nodes themselves, which are part 
of the abstract model of RDF.

Michael
