Re: Linked Data Platform ISSUE-20: What is the base URI of a POSTed document?

Hi Kingsley,

I actually agree with you on the fact that RDF and Linked Data are 
different - meaning there is a difference between the two, namely: URIs in 
Linked Data are dereferencable URLs - but I don't think repeating the same 
point over and over is going to make it stick. :-)

So, I kindly request that we all refrain from flooding the mailing list 
with repeats. It just makes it much harder for others to stay on top of 
what's being said without dedicating more time than what is really 
necessary to understand everyone's point of view.

Thank you.
