Guys, Ive put up a quick draft of a simplified version of the datatyping proposal at http://www.coginst.uwf.edu/users/phayes/simpledatatype I think this version is simple enough for the DPH. It uses the datatyping triple idiom: Jenny ex:age _:x _:x xsd:number "15" as primary, and treats rdfs:dlex as a kind of 'empty case' for when you don't know the datatype, and then links rdfs:drange directly to that, so you don't need to use rdf:dtype or the doublet form at all unless you want to. This keeps everything simpler and also much more robust against clashes. BTW, notice I have NOT said that all datatype properties are subproperties of rdfs:dlex. There isn't any need to, and that would introduce a lot more potential clashes if we did. Also this way of doing it means that 'local' dtypes always take priority over 'range' dtypes, which seems right. Anyway, for your amusement.
