According to the N-Triples grammar [1], the following is a valid
instance of the line production in an N-Triples document:

<p:> <> <q:> <> <r:> <> "s" .

But which part of the line matches the subject production, and which
part matches the predicate production? As far as I can tell, the
N-Triples specification does provide a means of interpretation. This
is a very major bug, if so; it means that N-Triples does not have a
usable grammar.
