Does this generate 2 or 3 triples? Henry's note suggests that it  
should generate 2, as he is using the notation as shorthand.
In other words, parsing this should not generate any blank nodes.
I would support that interpretation, which I think would need to be  
documented.
It would be a shame to generate bnodes as a consequence of solely  
wanting an abbreviation.
