Re: Turtle version 2006-01-02

Dave,

The decimal formats I am happy with as a change to N3, as we discussed
on IRC.

Is there any way on which Turtle an/or SparQL have diverged from rather
than converged with N3?  Has anyone done the work to demonstrate
(automatically) a mapping between these three?
