previous discussion of issues

As a contribution to constructing and summarising RDF issues,
I've been taking a stroll through the RDF mailing list archives
so see what was there.

Below is list of those that I noted with pointers to related 
discussion threads.  These might be a help in summarizing the
issues.  I don't claim completeness.  If you have any additions
send them to me or the list and I will collate.
