Zhe has pointed out off list that the editors draft of N-Triples and Turtle contain an escape sequence that non of the earlier versions of Turtle (including the FPWD) or N-Triples did. In String Escapes (http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/rdf/raw-file/f93f0e829e9a/rdf-turtle/index.html#sec-escapes) there are two string escape sequences that are new to Turtle and N-Triples. \b and \f. These are backspace (U+0008) and form feed (U+000C). These appear to come from SPARQL 1.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/#grammarEscapes) The addition of these may be a backwards incomparable change with existing N-Triples parsers. If people feel strongly enough about this issue to break with the current design goal of SPARQL alignment we'll need to create an issue and make the requisite changes to the document. --Gavin
