+1 : good point.

Maybe next-steps could be:

1/ Editors happy with the state of the doc for WG review
2/ WG review (I offer to review)
3/ Publish!

I'm happy to review either now, before editorial completion, or later 
when it's close to LC form, which ever helps the editors most.

== Tests

Test work can be in parallel to the doc; it would be good to have the 
tests ready around LC; I know they are already being used.

They need review coverage.  There needs to be additions for escape 
coverage and for plain literal/xsd:string at least.

Some test aren't passable by a parser that checks IRIs.  e.g. test-29.

The test are going to be important for Turtle.


W3C have a specific license for tests:
http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2008/04-testsuite-license

which includes:
"""No right to create modifications or derivatives of W3C documents is 
granted pursuant to this license."""
i.e. you can't change the tests and claim compliance!

== A quick skim of the doc

There are various issues marked in the document. Some look out-of-date 
and all must go for LC.

Scanning the doc I see:

ISSUE-4: Do we depecate N-Triples and use Turtle instead?
(no!)

ISSUE-12:
This is closed

ISSUE-67: \xxxx escaping in prefixed names
Can we close this?  It's now "just" editing.

"Decide the name for N′ (N-Triples)"

Naming:
Namespace: http://www.w3.org/ns/formats/Turtle
Local name: turtle

(so that makes http://www.w3.org/ns/formats/Turtleturtle -- looks wrong 
to me!)

This comment (to SPARQL-WG but it relates) is about Turtle:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-wg/2012Feb/0103.html

It would be helpful to SPARQL-WG to decide this, ideally with no change.
