I'd still prefer to have a sole definition for N-Triples outside this
specification, probably together with a formal specification of
Notation3 (see my "Notation3 woes" [1]), but ok...
I still wonder whether N-Triple documents are considered to actually be
written by humans or a plain RDF serialization format. If the former,
I'd strongly recommend to allow usage of other encodings then US-ASCII.
Note that if transferred via HTTP, those .nt files would need a
Content-Type like
Content-Type: text/plain;charset=us-ascii
since ommitted charset parameters on text/* types imply ISO-8859-1 as
per RFC 2616. This would violate section 3 of the draft which requires
US-ASCII. I don't know whether this is really a good idea at all.
Is there any special reason why \U escapes need *8* digits even if only
up to six digits are allowed?
Anyway, the draft looks way better now.
