Sometimes in specs we ask people to say yay on obvious things so they
can't say nay later. 

And Java libraries are not the only ones. There may be groups with other 
parsers we should listen to.

Turtle is even a formal W3C standard

   http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/

( Also the tricky backgroun question was more turtle and dropping rdf/xml .
I think we have a good compromise on that: MUST on consumers and
deprecate on publishers, and remove the example from spec. )
