Resolution was to move out dictionaries and keep collections unchanged.

I was keen to reuse existing productions to avoid having to justify them.
The only one not redefined is PN_LOCAL, but I thought it was OK to keep
the name. 
Thoughts?  Such names can still be changed after LC.

Link updated.

'-' can be parsed as PN_CHARS
but not as PN_CHARS_U nor PN_CHARS_OTHERS.

So, '-' is not allow a valid PN_LOCAL

Note '~'  is valid PN_CHARS_OTHERS, maybe it's the origin of the confusion?

This was added.

Can you provide authors for ProvRDF?
For now you did this provxml page, so it's appropriate to cite you

It's OK, it's informative.
