I've changed 11.2.3.9 sop:datatype Returns a valid [RFC3066] language tag representing the XML schema language datatype for a variable. to Returns the datatype of its argument if that argument is a typed literal. Otherwise it produces a type error. and 11.2.3.8 sop:lang Returns a valid [RFC3066] language tag representing the XML schema language datatype for a variable. to Returns an [RFC3066] language tag representing the XML schema language datatype of its argument if that argument has a language tag. Otherwise it produces a type error. I used the lang change in langMatches: RFC3066 section 2.5 defines the language range '*' to match any tag. In SPARQL, the idiom langMatches( lang( ?v ), "*" ) will not match literals without a language tag as lang( ?v ) will produce a type error. So basically, the argument for DATATYPE must be a typed literal, and the argument to LANG must be a langed literal. There is still more work to do on errors. For instance, Andy asked what 1/0 is. XPath F&O has a large number of them[ERR], which we implicitly use by defining our operators in terms of XPath functions. For instance, the Operator Mapping Table[OPS] ties '/' to op:numeric-divide[DIV]. (This is inspired by XQuery's similar construct somewhere near [QOP].) I think what's needed is some words about "errors" and "type errors" and "other errors" derived from F&O.
