I like this. It is what 3store has done for some years - originally it was a bug, but I met with spritited objections when I said it was going to be fixed, so I can report that users like it. It apears to be a natural thing to do when machine processing result to assemble further queries, like the offspring example you gave in this mail. That may have been a consquence of the pre-SPARQL XML results format that 3store used, which is less clear on the distinction between labelled bnodes and URIs. - Steve
