1. re: owl:sameAs Won't you need a relation like "is" or "owl:sameAs" to tell the post-processor what to do? 2. re: commas In the MKR context, \ can be used as an ordinary character in concept names, so I am reluctant to do \ escapes. For example, the "classname" attribute looks like John has classname = John\Person\Animal\Entity\Thing; I have been using one escape: "\n" at the end of line will continue a quote (enclosed in either single or double quote marks) to the next line, and is intended to be interpreted as a line feed, as in C. I have used this for multi-line "quotes" to replace RDF <comment> ... </comment>. I'm not sure I really want to continue supporting this convention. Anyway, the comma problem is not a big deal. I have no elegant solutions at this time. Let's ignore the issue for now.
