Jan? Got any example files? What software are you using?

That's the one I keep hearing about. I phoned him about it,
and he said they ended up using properties to represent
language, not xml:lang.

From the same message:
[[[
For example, I tried to do a visualization of the RDF schema
for RDF, using cwm, and I couldn't find a way to get it
to filter the french labels from the english labels... because

allows me to say "show me the english labels
from the RDFS schema".
