Yes it will. > An xsd:string has no language tag. You missed the point that I wouldn't *use* a language tag per se, but *encode* the language tag inside the string itself. Hence the need to "convert to/fro normal langed literals". This is a *workaround* and I pretty explicitly pointed out that it requires custom code. If that custom code worked at the application and import/export layers, it should be fine. Not pretty, but fine. Cheers, Bijan.
