RE: add Turtle examples to specs

And, as a newcomer, having seen RDF/XML only, I still have difficulty in
understanding N3.

Let's hope they don't take too much time to agree on an easy to teach, read,
understand syntax. Perhaps if they could agree that a well known subset was
something they could build on, such as Turtle, one could proceed to change
the current specs.

Also having examples in Turtle and rdf/xml would have the following
advantages:
   - it would help people learn rdf/xml if they knew turtle
   - and vice versa
   - but most of all it would make it clear that rdf is not about syntax but
about the model behind it.

   I still have difficulty understand rdf/xml by the way (and can't be
bothered to tell the truth), and only work with N3.
