I believe IRI-less nodes can be useful within a process.
They're almost always troublesome as soon as usage moves beyond
that -- because how can I identify "that node you didn't identify
except to say that it existed in context of your last answer"?
((
Aside --
Earlier in this thread the word "label" was used where here you
use "name" and where I am using "IRI".
To my mind...
"Label" is like a sticker holding a (best case) human-friendly
literal string that helps the human understand the thing on which
that sticker has been stuck.
"Name" is an identifier, which might be an IRI, might be a literal
string, might be something else.
"IRI" is relatively unambiguous.
"HTTP IRI" seems to me quite unambiguous, and is hopefully clearly
a subset of "IRI".

Be seeing you,
Ted
