Re: RDFCore issue pfps-12

Dear Brian,

I can life with the current situation and therefore accept the WG's
resolution.

Since some problems are remaining that can not be handled in short time (see
[3]),
I request that the issue be added to the postponed issue list so that it
will be considered
 by a future WG.

Sorry for not giving a clear answer at the first time.
Karsten
