That includes other concepts such as formulas (formulae?) which aren't quite named graphs, plus has other syntax sugar that I think are interesting but I see as over the bar of what is necessary while remaining easy to understand. Yes this is a criticism of N3, but if I thought N3 was the full answer, I wouldn't have come up with Turtle!
