Blank nodes have been a bear for the OWL WG as well. One thing to consider is what the real future of their current semantics (and operational behavior) really is. We might also look at how RIF is handling them. People do use blank nodes in fairly specific ways and we might considering "fixing" them if we can show clear requirements from SPARQL on this. SPARQL exposes some aspect of the semantics of bnodes in a very user salient way, so this might be the right time. (Obviously "fixing" blank nodes is one of my hobby horses...so, grain of salt and all.) Cheers, Bijan.
