Looking at:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-sparql11-service-description-20100601/>

it seems that sd:name is supposed to be a resource:

<sd:namedGraph>
    <rdf:Description>
        <sd:name rdf:resource="http://www.example/named-graph"/>
...

However if:

<http://www.example/named-graph> owl:sameAs <http://www.example/another-named-graph>

then also:

<sd:namedGraph>
    <rdf:Description>
        <sd:name rdf:resource="http://www.example/another-named-graph"/>
...

Which doesn't seem right to me. I wouldn't expect to be able to substitute another-named-graph in my query and get the same results, for example.

Suggest making the range xs:anyURI? (or whatever fits the SPARQL syntax)
