Define a minimal restriction on LDPR representations

Dear all,

The current specification does not impose any absolute (MUST) 
restriction on LDPR representations. Therefore, "almost" any server 
returning text/turtle and satisfying some other protocol restrictions 
would be an LDP-conformant server.

Besides, it is difficult for a client to discover if a server or its 
resources are LDP or not; therefore, it is difficult to know their 
behaviour (e.g., that linked resources can de dereferenced).

Proposal:
To require, similarly as for LDPCs, that LDPR representations are typed 
(i.e., "The representation of a LDPR MUST have rdf:type of ldp:Resource, 
but it MAY have additional rdf:types.").

Kind regards,
