If this is something we really need then let's document it well and create a way for users to easily set
it to value they desire.

I have it turned off in my biggest project, so I'm in favor of making that mode
available. If I understand it correctly, DAWG_DATASET_COMPLIANCE=False (search all
graphs) is also the default behavior for the sesame http sparql server.

Proposal: move this setting to a kw arg on the query method. I suspect most people
with projects of any size wrap graph.query with their own call anyway, to pass the
same initNs in each time. A DAWG_DATASET_COMPLIANCE flag would not be a burden to
that group. Other people would either ignore the setting (and use default or explicit
graphs in all queries) or set it per-query if they have to.

These issues involve bits that have been moved out of rdflib proper for now. We will re-open them
or move them to rdfextas as appropriate.
