allow implicitly unbound variables in SPARQL results?

Reviewing last call comment status, this one is (a) not connected
to an open issue, (b) not just editorial, and (c) hasn't
gotten much airtime.

This request seems pretty reasonable:

[[
There are at least two ways to trim the results back down with just
syntax changes.  The least intrusive change would be to just drop the
<unbound> tag, and have it be implicit with <binding name=".."/>.  More
drastic is to just drop the entire <binding> tag when the variable is
unbound, since the information can be retrieved from the head.

So how about we make <binding> elements for unbound variables
optional?
