Re: FW: cwm bug? xsd namespace

What you are asking may be a bug. Before we get into that, let us give
another example, to show what cwm was trying to do.

Let us say you wrote a file
=======
@prefix xsd: <http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#> .
@prefix math: <http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/math#> .
{ ( "1"^^xsd:float 
    "2"^^xsf:NCNAME ) math:sum ?x} => {?x a :Foo} .
=======

what should it do? Cwm does not know how to add a float and an NCNAME,
indeed, what you gave was not a valid NCNAME. Therefore, the rule should
fail to fire.

Similarly, if you wrote
=======
@prefix xsd: <http://example/xsd#> .
@prefix math: <http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/math#> .
{ ( "1"^^xsd:float 
    "2"^^xsf:int ) math:sum ?x} => {?x a :Foo} .
====
Then cwm does not know what a http://example/xsd#int is, or how it is
represented in a string, so it cowardly refuses to add it.

In essence --- datatypes cwm does not know it will not run builtins on. 

On the other hand, cwm treats a http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#anyURI
as being close enough to a string that string operations work on it.
Thus the difference.
