Re: proposed pre-CR edits to Turtle spec

Hi all,

I have read through Eric's changes and feel that they are appropriate (unless Gavin objects).  Gavin?

Eric has also produced a test coverage report and will upload it to dvcs.  Thanks, Eric!

Regards,
Dave

(We'll probably want to strike "6 In signed numbers, no white space is allowed between the sign and the number." if folks agree that it's not helpful to the Turtle spec, but stuff like identifying tokens and case sensitivity is a good idea.)
