Thank you very much.

When I checked the "RDF Test Cases" edition, I found section 3 says that 
the "absoluteURI ... representing an RDF URI references" so it's 
absolute.  It wasn't stated in the internal WG doc.

[[ Minor:
The Turtle test suite (test 29, a positive test) has an illegal URI in 
it and illegal N-triples to go with it.
]]

Are there examples of real worlds data that uses relative IRIs in 
N-triples?  If not, we could decide that theer is no base processing in 
RDF-triples, absolute IRIs only.

Good point - missed that.

Again, good point.
