Section 6.3.3 Grammar Action Notation of the RDF/XML Syntax
Specification (Revised) [1] defines the resolve action with the
signature resolve(e, s), i.e. taking two arguments, and yet we find
the following:

u:=uri(identifier:=resolve(a.string-value))
- 7.2.11 Production nodeElement

u:=uri(identifier:=resolve(a.string-value))
- 7.2.21 Production emptyPropertyElt

Which is a bug. I believe that both of these should read:

u:=uri(identifier:=resolve(e, a.string-value))

But this suggestion ought to be peer reviewed; it's intuitive rather
than based on comparing with existing implementations &c.

Thanks,
