Re: Property Path Profiles

I don't understand the restriction to one unbounded path component.

Looking at:

{ :v1 :myProp1*/:myProp2+/:myProp3? :v2 }

It is the same as:

{ :v1 :myProp1* ?x1 .
   ?x2 :myProp2+ ?x3 .
   ?x3 :myProp3? :v2 }

Matt - What is the key difference between the supported and unsupported 
examples?
