The Markdown implementation used by Mkdocs only recognizes nested lists if the nested list items are indented by precisely *4 spaces* (or a tab character) compared to the parent list item.
Markdown files are interpreted slightly differently between GitHub and Mkdocs, so we cannot rely solely on GitHub's preview feature to ensure that a Markdown file is rendered as we expect. People who edit the documentation should run `make serve` locally instead.

This PR fixes a small formatting issue in the recently merged RDF specification.
The Markdown implementation used by Mkdocs only recognizes nested lists if the nested list items are indented by precisely 4 spaces (or a tab character) compared to the parent list item.
This was not caught prior to merging because I (and likely anyone who reviewed the PR) relied on GitHub’s Markdown preview, but the Github-flavoured Markdown is slightly different from the Mkdocs Markdown. Therefore the PR also amends the contributing documentation to recommend that documentation editors run
make servelocally.
