There is no accepted semantics for dataset, so your safe with
consistency at the moment.
BTW, the semantics at:
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TF-Graphs/Minimal-dataset-semantics
and at
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/index.php?title=TF-Graphs/Minimal-dataset-semantics&oldid=2438
and at
http://www.w3.org/2011/rdf-wg/wiki/TF-Graphs/RDF-Datasets-Proposal#Semantics
all make your datasets consistent.

How would you do that? If I do:
SELECT ?mdg WHERE {
?mdg a anzo:hasMetadataGraph .
}
this should query the default graph, which is non existent, or defined
specifically per datasets. So how does it work exactly?
