I'm glad to hear that.

However, I think we now lost the point I *was* making. The n-ary
document is presumably going to make recommendations about how to
express n-ary relationships in RDF, and the RDFTM documents should
note this and

  1) explain how an RDF->TM converter can detect such relationships
     and correctly convert them to n-ary topic map associations,

  and

  2) explain how a TM->RDF converter can represent n-ary topic map
     association in RDF.

It now seems like this is mostly something for the RDFTM TF to think
about, but possibly with some consequences for the n-ary relations
draft.
