well, I've made a special
http://www.agfa.com/w3c/euler/Stack.cs
mainly for performance reasons
do you suggest other method names?

I have to read the standard I guess...
IsNumeric is a method name I have the code for in
http://www.agfa.com/w3c/euler/Datatype.cs
which basically is just
  return num[dt] != null;
or do you mean that you don't have System.Xml
e.g. XmlConvert? that would be a problem then
(at least to do RDF datatyping with XML Schema
part 2 primitive datatypes)

right, and there are more such lowercase method names

that should have been http://www.agfa.com/w3c/euler/etc5

Well, I was wrong again, we actually just do
fromWeb("http://localhost/AskJena?fromWeb=" +
(!local?uri:uri.Substring(6)));
and the AskJena is in Java (remarkable how I forgot that)
Anyhow, the Jena part (actually the Jena 2 pre-alpha)
that we use is just

this was made to have something but
maybe we better look for a webservice solution
