Well, for starters,

http://www.w3.org/2000/10/rdf-tests/rdfcore/datatypes/test001.nt

is no longer a legal N-triples document because it has a datatype literal
with a language tag.

Quite a number of other approved triples documents in the tests are
similarly illegal. 


Also, the test document says that a positive parser test consists of ``one
(or more) input documents''.  Are there any positive parser tests that have
more than one input document?  If not, then I suggest modifying the text.

By the way, I don't see a point to having more than one input document.
