Logically, since a client may only understand some of the transformation languages, we can't require any "GRDDL-aware client" to run all the transforms. It can't run a transform in a language it doesn't understand, and so different clients will get possibly different RDF out of the same document even if we require them to "run all the transform" However, I do think we should clarify that either the client should either: 1) If it can run a transforms, it runs the transform. 2) Or if can run a transform, the client may or may not run the transform.
