Lucky I looked at it then because the text and the test seem to be different :-)

What are your thoughts on it?

At the moment, I see more logic to the design of str([]) => error than str([]) 
=> "" because the latter might create an expection that the bNode label be 
returned, not the empty string.

That said, I have implemented both ways round (I had to make the change to 
making it an error when I went back and checked my implementation against the 
latest text because I found ARQ was doing the wrong thing spec-wise).
