Turtle CR Parsing Example (§7.4) should be more explicit about literal datatype

The Turtle CR document says (in section 2.5.1, Quoted Literals):

"""If there is no datatype IRI and no language tag, the datatype is xsd:string."""

In section 7.4, part of the parsing example is:

"""
	• Emit an RDF triple: <...rdf#ericP> <.../givenName> "Eric" .
"""

This is based on the (partial) turtle:

"""
	ericFoaf:ericP :givenName "Eric" ;
"""

Based on the wording in section 2.5.1, I believe the parsing example should be explicit that the literal object being emitted has the datatype xsd:string.

thanks,
