I think it would be a nice idea for the label service to display this as “unknown value”.
In GUI, certainly, but in API results, I don't think so. For two reasons:
- Tools that process data should be able to easily spot such kind of data. t\d+ is easy enough, "unknown value" in 200 languages may be much harder.
- These IDs actually have meaning, even if rather obscure and mostly useless one. Bnodes are not all equal - different bnodes are different things. If we replace them all with the same string, we will create an illusion that the values are actually equal, and for some tools that do not know about string "unknown value" being special (in all 200 languages) it may mislead them into thinking two bnodes are equal, which is almost always wrong.
