I don't recall having seen you mention that section before in your earlier comments.

Actually Jeremy, Peter is asking for a change in a new section.

Since there wasn't an example, let me write one.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
         xmlns:ex="http://example.org/ex#">
  <rdf:Description>
    <ex:a rdf:datatype="http://example.org/dturi">abc123</ex:a>
  </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

Which is a typed literal covered by production 7.2.16.  So the question
is does "abc123" have to be in NFC?  I think the answer is yes - and we
already have decided this as a WG, so this is a bug in the syntax
document that can be fixed.  We can do this by ammending the wording in
7.2.16 to require NFC for typed-literal() (as already required for
literal() in that paragraph).
