Re: Question regarding Example 6 in the spec

Thanks, Steve. In my case, I was thinking about delegating to Fuseki,
through SPARQL protocol, so I'm not sure that it would be happy without the
base. But maybe this raises an implementation hint for me that I might win
some benefits by issuing the SPARQL updates more directly in API, rather
than through a delegated HTTP request to SPARQL server component (Fuseki).
Or maybe I need to look into using Fuseki in a more embedded way, rather
than as a stand-alone server acting as a component of the platform.

In any case, this is good food for thought; thank you.
