Nah, it should work somehow, or be changed.  Validating plugin data is
99% of the point of the tool.

I just need to think a bit about how.  Maybe "things being pretty in
Turtle" is not a good reason to make things fuzzy and screwed up like
this, but I'm not sure.

The new validator in serd1 is dramatically more friendly, at least, so
I'll make sure all of this stitches together nicely before kicking that
out.
