I agree and think it ought to be in a named graph. It should be
possible to introspect the structure from descriptions written
down using, e.g. voiD. I'm not sure this needs to be specified
at a fundamental level by this WG.

I disagree because the whole idea of a "default dataset" or
"default graph" is bizarre historical baggage from before it
occurred that it might be useful to partition bags of triples.
It should be jettisoned, there is no need for it.
