Hi DBpedia devs,
The JSON result set from DBpedia's main SPARQL endpoint contains escape
sequences that begin with `\U` whereas only `\u` is allowed as per RFC 4627
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt>. Standards-compliant JSON parsers
break on such illegal strings.
Easy to reproduce with cURL and sed:
```bash
$ curl -H "Accept: application/sparql-results+json" "
http://dbpedia.org/sparql?query=SELECT%20DISTINCT%20?p%20?o%0AWHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%3Chttp://dbpedia.org/resource/Barack_Obama%3E%20?p%20?o%20.%0A%7D%0A";
| sed -n 160p
{ "p": { "type": "uri", "value": "http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs";
} , "o": { "type": "uri", "value": "
http://got.dbpedia.org/resource/\U00010331\U00010330\U00010339\U00010342\U00010330\U0001033A_\U00010349\U00010331\U00010330\U0001033C\U00010330";
}},
```
