As far as I'm concerned a bNode is just a resource that nobody's
bothered to give a URI... yet.

I don't think that the vCard vocab should be *insisting* that these are
bNodes rather than URIs. e.g. the following should be essentially the
same as far as vCard vocab consumers are concerned:

	<#me> v:tel [ a v:Home ; rdf:value "123456789" ] .

and:

	<#me> v:tel <#homePhone> .
	<#homePhone> a v:Home ; rdf:value "123456789" .

Indeed, it annoys me that [...] in SPARQL doesn't match nodes which have
URIs. It's unintuitive.

I'm CCing public-rdf-dawg-comments.
