[Sorry Scott that I may have accidentally already replied to you directly.]

This issue is a year old, but I seem to be getting exactly the same issue. 
 I use sml:ModifyPrefixes to add new prefixes before creating URLs with 
those prefixes in sml:ApplyConstruct (using smf:buildUri to create the URIs 
dynamically).  I then use sml:ModifyPrefixes again to remove unwanted 
prefixes.

However, while my Turtle output contains the new prefix definitions, the 
constructed URLs themselves have been expanded into full URLs. 
 Additionally, the unwanted prefixes haven't been removed.  Is there some 
trick to getting sml:ModifyPrefixes to work correctly, something that isn't 
in the documentation?  Or is there a good example file showing its use?

Thanks, Cheers, Tony.
