I'm not comfortable with the SHOULD in "A 'datatype-aware' RDF engine SHOULD be competent to recognize at least the rdfs:XMLLiteral datatype and the set of all the XML Schema primitive datatypes." insofar as XML Schema datatypes are concerned. I think the SHOULD should only be limited to rdfs:XMLLiteral. I don't believe this is an editorial issue. I don't believe that the WG has agreed that this expectation should be placed on datatype savvy applications. I propose the following rewording: "A 'datatype-aware' RDF engine SHOULD be competent to recognize at least the rdfs:XMLLiteral datatype. It MAY, and typically will, recognize other datatypes, such as the XML Schema built-in simple datatypes."
