+1 I'm very happy with your draft. Nice work!
One small caveat. The i18n paragraph was hammered out at considerable
length, with Addison Phillips and Michael Sperberg-McQueen. We should
probably keep it, maybe with a few words making it clear that this is
"just so you don't misunderstand" stuff, and that the issues are exactly
the same as with RDF Plain Literals. I think the point is that folks
often misunderstand i18n and since we're in that territory, it's a good
chance to point people in the right direction.
