Personal Straw Poll about XMLLiteral

We have a lot of triplestore folks in the group. While unscientific,  
it would at least give some idea of the feasibility of "fixing"  
XMLLiteral.

So,

1) Does your RDF/XML parser canonicalize rdf:XMLLiterals?
2) Does your NTriples/Turtle/other alt-syntax parser canonical  
rdf:XMLLiterals?
3) Do you maintain the original syntax of your XMLLiterals, or only  
retain the canonicalized form?
4) Would you object to changing the lexical space of rdf:XMLLiteral  
to include non-canonicalized wellformed XML?
5) Would you object to changing the RDF/XML parsing behavior to not  
canonicalize?

The user version includes:

6) Would any of your applications break if the lexical space of  
XMLLiteral were widened?
7) Would any of your applications break if the parsing of RDF/XML  
didn't canonicalize?

Cheers,
Bijan.
