Well... this is in contradiction with... (see below)

... THIS! If the @instanceof creates a bnode if there is no @about or
@src, then @instanceof can never be bound to a 'hanging rel', so to say,
ie, to a bnode generated in the parent. I think that is a serious flaw,
in my view; I have been saying that many times now...
