Which is a change to the other serializations. They now have a triple that they have to interpret specially. Not just at the reasoner level, but at the parsing level. Indeed, why should we impose a triple on them? Turtle might prefer to add an @directive instead. N3 might prefer to use their own builtin. Cheers, Bijan.
