odrl-ISSUE-16: Use of @base and relative URIs in examples [ODRL 2 Ontology]

http://www.w3.org/community/odrl/track/issues/16

Raised by: Michael Steidl
On product: ODRL 2 Ontology

All the Turtle examples in the Ontology draft are using @base this way:
@base <http://example.com/> .
@prefix odrl: <http://w3.org/ns/odrl/2/> .
... 
odrl:target </asset:9898> ;
....

The description of this example states that the URI for the asset is http://example.com/asset:9898
Reading the Turtle specs I conclude that the strings of @base and the relative URI are concatenated making http://example.com//asset:9898 which is not the same as described.
Wouldn't it be better to omit the leading slash in the relative URIs?
