Description:
as brought up by Jonathan Rees in [1]:

"""
- Microformats are mentioned in the abstract. Please give a citation,
   as these might not be familiar to all readers.

- I find the term 'URIorCURIE' to be very confusing, because a CURIE is
   not a URIorCURIE.  It is very easy to interpret the name to imply
   you have created a syntactic context that admits either a URI or a
   CURIE, which would create an alarming ambiguity; but you have been
   careful not to do this.  'URIorSafeCURIE' would be more appropriate.
   (But I'm bothered by 'safe CURIE' for a similar reason - a safe
   CURIE is not a kind of CURIE.)

- 3.6 Turtle: Incomplete sentence beginning "However, there are ..."

- I know that "recurse" is in wide use in the sense in which you use
   it, but this is very poor English.  To "recurse" is to curse again;
   what you mean is "recur".  Follow the pattern of "incur /
   incursion".

- 5.4.1 extraneous "then" in first sentence.

- 5.4.2 extraneous "then" in last sentence of note.
"""

more or less straight-forward. Requires some sanity checks from Mark and Shane.

2008-05-09: This issue has several parts: Added a reference to microformats.org. Changed term to be URIorSafeCURIE. Fixed the missing content. We agree that propert English should be the term "recur" but the conventional computer science term is "recurse" and we are loathe to change it. Removed the extraneous "then" statements.
