Without being disrespectful and assuming that you have your SW activity
lead hat off :) I'd like to ask you to which example you are referring -
the only one I can find in section 2.8 of [1] reads as follows:
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
         xmlns:ex="http://example.org/stuff/1.0/">
  <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://example.org/item01">
    <ex:prop rdf:parseType="Literal" xmlns:a="http://example.org/a#">
      <a:Box required="true">
        <a:widget size="10" />
        <a:grommit id="23" />
      </a:Box>
    </ex:prop>
  </rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>

with <a:Box ...> being the 'top level element' in the resulting object
of type rdf:XMLLiteral, giving the triple [2]:
 
<http://example.org/item01> <http://example.org/stuff/1.0/prop> "<a:Box xmlns:a=\"http://example.org/a#\" required=\"true\">\n         <a:widget size=\"10\"></a:widget>\n         <a:grommit id=\"23\"></a:grommit></a:Box>\n    "^^<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#XMLLiteral> .

which is what I would expect ...
 
The rational behind my original question was to figure out what subset 
of RDF we are going to support. This was due to the fact that we have a
pending action regarding this issue (cf. [3]).

> Bottom line: I do not think *that* is the problem.

Well - it is always either part of the problem or part of the solution ;)

Cheers,
       Michael
