Re: N3 media-type in SPARQL protocol

The N3 Specification is
http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Notation3
and it says text/rdf+n3

That is also what cwm implements.

That is also what the www.w3.org site implements:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 03:37:01 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/4.3.10
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="W3CACL"

Accept-Ranges: bytes

Content-Type: text/rdf+n3; qs=0.89

It is true that the UTF-8 characetr encoding should be specified 
explicitly
when an N3 document is not ASCII, as it is implicit for N3 but not for 
text/*
