<tobyink> I've not really looked at the Turtle spec with regards to this.
But the xml namespaces spec allows "." in qnames - and it seems to work in
rapper.
<kasei> yeah. i tested in rapper, but i'm not sure that aligns with the
published spec...
<tobyink> Perhaps a question for dajobe?
<kasei> yeah. i'm just leaving town, though. think you could ping him
about it?
<kasei> maybe checking the spec first in case I'm just overlooking it? :)
<tobyink> Is "." allowed in Turtle qnames? It's allowed in XML qnames, and
rapper/libraptor supports it in Turtle, but the spec omits it.

...

<dajobe> tobyink: . is not allowed because of n3 compatibility
<dajobe> and . is used as a separator
<dajobe> in n3, it's more 'generous' with ommitting spaces so a bare name
foo. can be ambiguous
<dajobe> I guess this should be in the differences to n3 section
<dajobe> and make raptor/rapper match the spec!
