[2] triple ::= WS* subject WS+ predicate WS+ object WS* '.' WS* ==> [2] triple ::= WS* subject WS* predicate WS* object WS* '.' WS* This is not the canonical N-Triple form, where exactly one space is required, nor is it to encourage less readability. It is to maximise the relationship to Turtle where the same triple syntax does not mandate at least one whitespace character. In favour of required WS, it does make splitting with text tools a little easier. The fact that the property must be a <>-URI does mean it's still easy to split without required whitespace. Andy
