Who is the audience? We're not branding a company or product here, so
usual discussion of messaging and ambiguity might not hold.

The point of the 'wellknown' thing is that the meaning isn't obvious
from reading the word we choose, but can be well documented. So I
don't mind 'genid'. Anything with 'bnode' is a bit weird since these
will be used in URIs. And as others have mentioned, Skolem is by far
the most interesting word (though I fear what we'll do to it's
googlability...).

'xbnode'? Google says it's only been used ~300 times...
