Re: [shex] Blank node behavior when using SPARQL (#109)

I've always voiced the opinion that it should be illegal to use a blank node as a ShEx starting point, as in RDF, there is no expectation that one used in a serialization will be maintained within a datastore; I think it should be illegal. This is the use case skolem IDs were created for, although I'm not a great fan of those, either.

Better to use a query to identify a starting node, where the query would result in the desired node.
