I'm not saying this case was actually covered by the resolution.  That's
why I said "the spirit of".   I am suggesting that the reasons we made
that decision on issue-1 would also apply here -- that people want to be
able to cut-and-paste from Turtle (and now Trig) into their SPARQL
queries.    Cutting, pasting, and then adding GRAPH keywords in various
places...  that's not in the spirit of this resolution, and I think
people wont like it.
