Ah, I remember... Yes, this is specific to Namespace URIs in RDF. Namespace URIs should end in either / or #, so that RDF URI Refs can be constructed by concatenation of the Namespace URI and a local name without adding any separators. This concat operation is defined here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-rdf-syntax/ Ben, can you send a pull request with only the change of appending the trailing '/'?
