No no, wait a minute. You are having your cake and eating it. That triple doesn't conform to your proposed idiom; it uses the literal label in object position on an arc not labelled with a datatype mapping. If you allow this kind of triple and also your bNode idioms, you need to somehow connect them. Can we infer one from the other? Both ways? If so, the simple idiom (as you have here) is equivalent to the extended bnode form, so why do we need the latter? If not, how do we manage to establish any kind of inferential connection between them?
