Right, but that pre-dated BIND, AFAIR... Anyways, I will think of something. 
In principle, I ask myself, why we have to restrict the use of variables assigned to 
in BIND *at all* except for not using variables within the expression on the LHS of the "AS".

Hmm, it seems to me that the current clause 12. in the grammar restrcitions 
tries to prohibit something like this:

{
 BIND ( ?X1 AS ?Y)
 BIND ( ?X2 AS ?Y)
}

right? But I am not sure about whether we also want to prohibit this one:

{
 BIND ( ?X1 AS ?Y)
}
{
 BIND ( ?X2 AS ?Y)
}

Anyways, I'll try to check through the "history" again and re-think.

Best,
Axel
