Hi Dan,

I'll take a look at this, but I think Ian is right that the problem is being triggered by the xml fragment not having a single root. Either way, after taking a look at the perl code I think this should be considered more of a warning than an error as I think you should still end up with all of the right triples in the end, despite the loud warning messages indicating otherwise.

thanks,
