Hmm. There is the option of treating the bnode URIs like old style bnodes
in order to avoid this problem. And application writers who do not care that
the bnode URIs may be invalid after the next reload of the RDF document they
came from can use them like real URIs.

This applies to old style bnodes also so both my arguments are not really
persuasive.

I still feel uneasy about declaring all old documents with bnodes invalid
and making it harder to produce RDF.

And I plead the RDF specs should discourage the use of bnodes (skolemized or
not) in favor of real URIs.
