Re: "undefined" URI scheme

Because as of today 19th November 2018 the standards do not allow for blank-node properties. I'm not allowed to use

example:Alice _:foobar example:Bob

and RDF libraries will fail to parse these triples and throw errors instead.

Why not just use _: rather than invent a new thing that means the same?
