Editorial: small clarification of LOAD

In Section 3.1.4 LOAD:
http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/docs/update-1.1/Overview.xml#load
where it says: "The LOAD operation reads an RDF document from a IRI and
inserts its triples" and a little later where it says "the resulting
triples will be inserted" I suggest s/insert/merge/ to be clear that
existing triples are deleted when the new triples are LOADed.  

Thus those phrases would read: "The LOAD operation reads an RDF document
from a IRI and merges its triples"  and "the resulting triples will be
merged".

Thanks
