yes, that looks good, and I therefore accept the decision of the RDF Core WG.

Sorry, what I meant to say in this sentence was

If I use the other current RDF list constructs (i.e. not including 
collection) then I cannot produce this as a closed list.

(i.e. seq, bag, etc. are designed so that elements can be added to 
them, collection is designed to be "all and only" the members of some 
list)

So this sentence was meant to address the nature of the other 
constructs, not the ugliness of collection for datatypes.  Apologies 
for not being clearer before.
