Examples in 2.6 contain redundant rr:termType declaration

It's my pleasure to open the Last Call comment round ;-)

This is a comment on the Last Call draft of R2RML, Section 2.6 [1]:

The two example mappings in that section contain three instances of rr:termType. These term type declarations are unnecessary, because the default for maps that use rr:template is rr:IRI anyways. See [2] for the relevant part of the spec, and [3] for ISSUE-56 where this was tracked.

I would suggest to remove the unnecessary declarations to keep the example minimal and to avoid distracting from the point of the example.

(I note that this is in an informative example, so changing it won't change the R2RML language.)

Best,
Richard
