I believe we could do these either before or after CR (under the 
criterion of coordinating w/RDF changes) - but will add to the agenda.

This is actually a request to reopen 5.26 with the above as a new 
proposal to close - Jeremy is already on record as opposing the 
current solution.  If we were to do the above would you remove your 
objection to 5.26?

According to my spreadsheet there is only one such complete message - 
the one from the Jena team which Dave Reynolds has now answered and 
we will continue conversation on.

He has now answered as follows:

i. dataranges - he wants more info, I have asked Peter/Ian to respond 
- however I don't see why this isn't covered in our decision to 
Postpone issue 4.3 -- is there something new here?

ii. Individual bnodes - we already acknowledge in the CR draft that 
the Jena team agrees with your objection, so other than something 
that my result from your item (A) above, this has already been 
responded to.

iii. cycles of bnodes: he says our answer is acceptable

so the only thing pending (which I will put on agenda) is if we have 
anything to say about dataranges -- however, when I proposed 
something like this a while back (same issue, different syntax) the 
WG shot it down - so I'm not optimistic they'll want to add it -- and 
if this is not somehow different than issue 4.3, I would be reluctant 
to reopen the issue as no new information is offered.  I will admit 
that it is possible I'm just not understanding the issue - in which 
case I would ask Jeremy or someone to enlighten me (preferable in a 
new thread)
