Do I have to pass the message to adopters : publish RDF in Turtle, it's a very cool an simple syntax (oh but BTW don't forget to add HTML documentation, and also RDF/XML, and JSON, and multilingual variants, and proper content negotiation ...) ... well, OK, let's be clear about it if we have to do that ... but it looks like a non-starter for adoption of Turtle.

I do not believe the .var mechanism is bound to the necessity of publishing both rdf/xml and turtle; I just described what we do. If you use it only for turtle, that should work, too.

B.t.w., you (and chris) asked for the curl outputs for the setup, I added it below. The default returns html; I think if the only thing you had was turtle, then that is fine, too.
