Of course.  I'm just contributing my views.  :)

There are two separable issues here:

1. Whether test #grddlonrdf conforms to the GRDDL spec as written.  AFAICT it does *not* conform to the GRDDL spec as written, so in my view the working group has a responsibility in an erratum to either fix it or delete it.

2. Whether the GRDDL spec should be changed, to make the result of an RDF document be *only* the RDF that is directly specified in that document.  This would represent a (slight) design change, and thus it is not a candidate for an erratum.  In my view, it would have to wait until GRDDL 2.0.  :(
