Resolutions
  1. We reply to the Prov WG that we don't see any technical incompatibilities between their work and RDF 1 or RDF 1.1 as we currently imagine it.  If a suitable example is eventually included in our docs, we will try to use PROV output therein. link
  2. In TriG, triples of the dataset's default graph MUST be surrounded by curly braces. link
