I was >kinda hoping this would be pretty opaque. Look, I CAN leave it the way it is, more or less. I had been trying to make it be that the document was organized in layers like: basic graph entailment RDF and RDF entailment RDFS and RDFS entailment Datatyping and D-entailment .Keeping it layered and having XMLLiteral in the RDF namespace means I should put the XML datatyping into the second layer, and the rest of datatyping stays where it is but now needs to be rewritten a little (that is no big deal). BUt this changes the definition of rdf-entailment and hence of rdfs_entailment. Which is rather a bigger deal. Jeremy apparently wants to not have the namespace change make any difference to the entailments. LIke I said, we could go that way, and it would be a lot less of a change. It then reads kind of oddly, though, in that just one thing in the RDF namespace isn't actually given any semantics in RDF or in RDFS, but requires access to a datatype. But there isn't any datatype for it: the last section refers dtype issues to the owner of the datatype, and we ARE the owner of this datatype, so its up to us to say what its semantics is, right? And if we are doing it, why aren't we doing it in RDF already??? I assumed that the namespace change was intended to lead to all these changes to the entailments. If not, then I should probably leave well enough alone; and then its just a matter of editing rdfs/rdf here and there and putting a bit of protective prose explaining why rdf-entailment ignores rdf:XMLLiteral. Anyone object to that?
