FWIW, the RDF Working Group (of which I am a member) is currently overhauling the N-Triples specification, and is likely to define N-Quads as a W3C Recommendation in this same specification as well. It is quite likely (but not certain) that this specification will include UTF-8 support, and will allow blank node IDs starting with digits. Support for relative IRIs has been discussed as well, but seems unlikely. Best, Richard
