Dear RDFCore colleagues, The Web Ontology Working Group has discussed its position w.r.t. the XML Literal design From the Webont perspective there were serious problems with the LC1 design of XML literals, as indicated by the official comments from Webont and the individual comments from Patel-Schneider. The new XML literal design, as specified in the current WDs, appears to Webont to be a well-motivated rational design choice in a space of conflicting requirements [1]. RDFCore has provided compelling arguments against the alternatives proposed by I18N (see e.g. [2]). The current post-LC design works for OWL and is our preferred design in the context of the options currently on the table.
