[Rdfapi-php-interest] Base URI weirdness

[Richard C. <ri...@cy...>]

Hi,

The setBaseURI method of RAP's MemModel and DbModel always appends a  
'#' to the base URI (unless the URI already ends in #, :, /, or \).

Why is this? It doesn't seem quite right to me. Base URIs without a  
hash at the end are perfectly legal (and more correct, IMO). Adding  
the hash gets in the way in some situations, e.g. dealing with  
metadata attached to the <> URI, and round-tripping. Also, I think  
it's quite reasonable that after executing the following code, $a and  
$b should be equal if $a contains a legal base URI:

    $model->setBaseURI($a);
    $b = $model->getBaseURI();

(And in RAP, $a and $b would often not be equal because of this.)

So, unless I'm missing something important, I suggest to remove this  
quirk.

Best,
Richard
