A concern that has been raised by danbri, supported by others, is that [[ Every difference we create between SPARQL and Turtle diminishes the value and teachability of both… ]] This WG has been trying to move Turtle and SPARQL closer together. One is a syntactic transformation (Turtle), the other is part of the mechanism for pattern matching, so they need explaining differently. SPARQL ^ is much more general. And hence, SPARQL Update does not support ^:p in INSERT DATA because it's not a matching operation. Andy
