Hi,
I am not sure whether this is legal Turtle or not:

------
@prefix : <http://example.org/> .
@prefix foaf:   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> .

:alice#me
    a           foaf:Person ;
    foaf:name   "Alice" ;
    foaf:mbox   <mailto:[email protected]> ;
    foaf:knows  :bob#me ;
    foaf:knows  :charlie#me ;
    foaf:knows  :snoopy#me ;
    .
------

When I try to parse it using Jena:

  Model model = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel();
  model.read(in, null, "TURTLE");

I get this exception:

Exception in thread "main" com.hp.hpl.jena.n3.turtle.TurtleParseException: 
Encountered " <PNAME_LN> "foaf:knows "" at line 9, column 5.
Was expecting one of:
    ";" ...
    "," ...
    "." ...

If I try to parse it using RIOT:

  RIOT.init() ;
  Model model = ModelFactory.createDefaultModel();
  model.read(in, null, "TURTLE");

I get this exception:

I would be tempted to say that it should be treated as legal Turtle:
http://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/turtle/#qname

But it seems that '#' in the qname is treated a comment:
http://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/turtle/#comment

I tried to use the directive @base instead of @prefix : <http://example.org/> .
I have the same exceptions in both cases.

Perhaps the Turtle above is 'unusual' and I do not necessarily need to use that.
But, since it occurred, I would like to understand if it's legal (and we have a 
small bug) or not.

Thanks in advance,
Paolo
