Re: shapes-ISSUE-25 (core/lite): What's in Core/Lite? [SHACL Spec]

Holger,

I understand there is room for misinterpretation given the last weeks of 
discussion on documents but you're missing my point. The issue at hand is 
about what is to be considered "Core/Lite" and this is what I'm talking 
about. This is orthogonal to how many documents we produce.

Can we not separate these two pieces the way HTML and JavaScript+DOM are? 
With HTML5 one can define custom elements using Javascript and the two 
co-exist gracefully. Why isn't a similar approach possible here?

Why should we do this? Did the recent poll create a convincing majority 
for the "separatists"?

Why should we break the current consistency of the single document? I have 
done my best to move the SPARQL bits to part 2 (sections 7 onwards), as 
requested by several people including yourself, Arnaud. The core bits are 
clearly marked at such. I have proven that this spec can be implemented 
without SPARQL. This should be enough for now. We can decide for a split 
at some later stage, once we are certain that all pieces work together. 
Introducing a split now is unhelpful towards that goal.
