Hello all, I was asking myself another question regarding the "should" in 3.3. http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#section-Graph-Literal > * a lexical form, being a Unicode [UNICODE > <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#bib-UNICODE>] string, which > /SHOULD/ be in Normal Form C [NFC > <http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#bib-NFC>], > http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2119.txt says regarding SHOULD: > 3. SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there > may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a > particular item, but the full implications must be understood and > carefully weighed before choosing a different course. I am not sure, what reasons could exist not to require NFC . N-Triples doesn't seem to use ASCII any more in its next version. What is the hold up to change this to a MUST and write a validation test case? I am just asking out of curiosity. The topic is complex and the "full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course" justify a SHOULD as well. All the best, Sebastian -- Dipl. Inf.
