The above of course is an error because it violates:
[6.12] propertyElt ::= '<' propName idAttr? '>' value '</' propName '>'
| '<' propName idAttr? parseLiteral '>'
literal '</' propName '>'
- a propertyElt with a parseType="Literal" attribute can only
have an ID attribute.
However, I'm wondering if you were trying to differentiate the
following as being illegal syntax by [6.12]:
a. <random:someProperty rdf:parseType="Literal"/>
and the following as being legal:
b. <random:someProperty rdf:parseType="Literal"></random:someProperty>
My take on [6.12] is that a. is not legal and b. is legal. If
this is true, I don't understand why there is this restriction
and would propose that both be legal.
