Well yes, but I wasn't trying to do that. I was trying to define the parsing
rules for N3. N3 could say that it recognizes only a subClass of URI (call them
ProperUri for lack of a better term) that do not end in period. And while were
at it we could fix the namespace URI the same way: define a subClass of URI and
call them ProperNamespaceUri all of which end with #.
Also I note that your <...> construct in N3 cannot be easily nested inside of
XML .. which i take as a real drag. This too could be fixed by simply
eliminating it in N3. See my N3+ sig below which I easily and (legitimately?)
have nested in XML.
