I have literals nodes whose content payload might be approx 1 Gb in size.

If these values were 'URI'ified, do we have any reason to believe standard
URI libraries would be able to cope with textual URIref labels on such a
scale? Can strings of such a size reasonably be claimed to even be
RFC2396 URIrefs?
