CONSTRUCT returns a graph. Whether the representation/serialization of the graph contains duplicate triples is irrelevant to the spec's concern, as far as I know. That is, my implementation can return: :s :p :o . or it can return: :s :p :o . :s :p :o . :s :p :o . :s :p :o . ...and it's returning the same graph, and therefore it's returning the same results. (Both are representations of the same set of triples.) I'm sure someone else will correct me if I'm wrong. Lee
