Hmmm... doesn't this lead to an inference something like xsd:date being the same as xsd:string? Well, not that exactly, but "2008-01-01" is a plain literal and hence self-denoting. Then the thing _:x denotes is hence (a) exactly "2008-01-01", and (b) in the value space of xsd:date, which I'm not aware of including lexical forms - is my birthday a string? #g
