After a short discussion with Michael by IRC about the issue he pointed with my usage of void:target property, we got some conclusions. Basically while voID is not extended, many dataset don't have a proper URI. So there are two ways to refer them: URI vs Blank Node, a IFP property (in this case foaf:homepage) does the magic in both cases. I know that many people hate blank nodes, and I would like not to need to use here, but in this case I prefer to use it and wait until the dataset publish a proper URI. IMO this is not just interesting for voID, but the scope of this discussion is bigger for the whole Semantic Web in general: do we want to create this (artificial) URIs? What's your opinion?
