is/of feature of N3 in turtle/sparql?

I just realized the other day that SPARQL doesn't have is/of,
nor does turtle...

22:48:25 <DanC> ^sparqlquery select ?pg where { [ foaf:nick "DanC"] is  
cyc:socialParticipants of [ contact:homePage ?pg] }
22:48:25 <julie> Bad query (SPARQL syntax error at 'i')
22:48:38 <dajobe> that's not in sparql - is, of
22:48:38 <DanC> oh frap. no is/of in SPARQL

-48-25

Hmm.

I'm hoping the WG will close all the remaining issues, including
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/issues#punctuationSyntax ,
in the next week or so. In particular, punctuiationSyntax is pretty
much all set to go this Tuesday. So it would be good to get feedback
on this right away. In particular, if you want is/of in, send
something to public-rdf-dawg-comments@w3.org .
