"""

If there is knowledge it's the same blank node why not allow it to be 
the same?  As long as the nodes aren't accidentally equated.


As in the default-graph-as-union and the base+inference cases, there are 
uses for the subgraph relationship and then it is the same blank node.


For TriG and N-quads, I suggest blank node labels are scoped to the 
document, and across graphs.  It's confusing to see two _:a to mean 
different things without much stronger scoping intuitions (esp. 
N-Quads); it makes it possible to record when you do know they are the 
same bnode (one graph a subgraph of another).
