Hello ldp wg,

http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-ldp-20130307/#http-get says:
        4.2.3 LDPR servers may provide representations of the requested
        LDPR beyond those necessary to conform to this specification,
        using standard HTTP content negotiation. If the client does not
        indicate a preference, text/turtle must be returned.

Googlebot (and many other crawlers) have an accept header of */*. Many
LDP implementations will want to return HTML for google (and others) to
index. However, section 4.2.3 (above) indicates that Turtle should be
sent to googlebot. I think this section should be removed.

Regards,
James
