Re: Discussion on RDF compliance of SPARQL Construct

No, I don't think the RDF WG is considering that, which is one reason 
why it's out of scope for our group to consider allowing it. (We'd be 
saying that CONSTRUCT generates something that's not RDF -- something 
that doesn't even have a name, which is hard to specify)
