The update document is inconsistent about LOAD.
[[ 3.1.4 LOAD
an empty graph being retrieved will not create a new graph in the graph
store.
]]
This disagrees with the formal definition
[[ 4.3.4 Load Operation
OpLoad(GS, documentIRI, iri) =
Dataset-UNION(GS, { {}, (iri,graph(documentIRI)) } )
graph(documentIRI) is a function returning the RDF graph serialized by
the RDF document retrieved from IRI documentIRI
]]
but an empty graph is a legal RDF document and so it does create an
empty graph. This may be removed but it is not required.
I prefer the formal definition version.
