Re: mergeg in current Semantics ED

Guys, take a look at the latest edit. I actually like the way this is coming out, it really does start to make sense of bnode scoping and merging. Most of the material is now in the early 'graph definitions' section (and maybe should eventually be in Concepts), but check also the merging lemma where I use Antoine's example.
