RE: PS grammar question

I surmised so, but wanted to check. Harold should confirm or explain.

What about the following remark (which is really causing me a problem):

Can we change the PS syntax to require double-quotes around the IRI's
in the pragmas Prefix and Base? (I call them pragmas because all they do
is declare the IRI name spaces used in CURIE shorthands.) It would be a
simple amendment to the PS BNF and would immensely simplify implementing
a lexer for the PS.

Thanks.

Looks like a typo. Should be <http:...> or the full "..."^^rif:iri
