I dont know that. If I had an assurance that turtle would change inline
with SPARQL syntax then I probably wouldn't object to this change. Its a
pretty major change to the practical use of SPARQL though. I'd probably
decide to change my engine to internally prefer decimals over doubles,
which I'm not that keen on.
