Tackling the question from the more theoretical side,
I like non-monotonic SPARQL queries like the ones modeling set difference.

E.g.
"Give me all persons *without* an email address" in a certain FOAF graph.


i) It is already folklore, that you can do that with using the ! bound() filter outside an optional, i.e.

SELECT ?X
FROM G
WHERE { ?X a foaf:Person
       OPTIONAL { ?X foaf:mbox ?M}
       FILTER (! bound(?X) ) }

Shouldn't that be !bound(?M) ?
