Paul;  The two are equivalent.  I believe the story is that a few years back 
the Jena team wrote a Turtle serializer.  Since N3 was a hot topic then, they 
used the .n3 extension, thinking that the Turtle serializer would be extended.  
Since then the alignment of Turtle and SPARQL has become stronger - even 
stronger in the RDF 1.1 WC - and N3 has had little uptake, no work beyond the 
Turtle serializer/parser is forthcoming.  In addition, Turtle will become one 
of the standard RDF serializations (along with N-Triples, RDF/XML, and perhaps 
JSON) in the 1.1 recommendation.

For TBS, .n3 and .ttl files are the same Turtle serialization.  You can use 
either extension, but to avoid confusion, we recommend .ttl, and Composer now 
enforces this for new file wizards, etc.
