Re: Multiple resource representations during LDPC POST (5.4.1)

Martynas, this feels like violent agreement ;-)

SPARQL DESCRIBE's output is an RDF graph, according to [1].  So "what's 
the problem?" if LDP's create-via-POST takes as input an RDF graph?
If you're looking to preserve provenance, I think you're beyond Turtle and 
into other syntaxes like Trig.  LDP requires Turtle but certainly allows 
others, so Trig and friends can play.

<chorus> LDP requires Turtle but certainly allows others, so Trig and 
friends can play. </chorus> ;-)
I don't know that we have an explicit MAY on others, but I suspect we do. 
Since the default reasoning is "in the absence of a MUST NOT, you can do 
anything" silence implicitly allows it; people sometimes object to 
explicit MAYs that convey the equivalent, but how far you take each is 
somewhat a matter of editorial taste.
