I don't see technical problems using blank nodes as identifiers.
We will need to explicitly mention this in ExplicitRepresentation though.

It just makes things a little harder to explain and understand TPF, but not impossible.
Blank nodes in their usual meaning are not interesting for TPF interfaces anyway.

For instance, suppose that a TPF interface gave a response containing
    _:x a foaf:Person.
then there is no way to get more information about _:x,
because this blank node identifier is only valid in the scope of the response
(and thus means something different in the next request).
This is why, in responses, a TPF interface replaces blank nodes by well-knowns URIs.
An example is at http://data.linkeddatafragments.org/.well-known/genid/ugent-biblio/B1.

Does anybody see issues with using blank nodes to query patterns such as
   _:x foaf:knows _:y
?

Best,

Ruben
