Subject: REview of RDF:TEXT


Review of http://www.w3.org/2007/OWL/wiki/InternationalizedStringSpec 
dated today.

Was there a frozen version?

This document is in good shape and is ready to be published.

Important: The two characters use to delimit rdf:text values in the page 
don't
render in my browser (firefox, windows).  I also checked explorer on my 
machine
and they do not render there.

E.g. "The facet space is a set of pairs of the form ? f v ?, where f is 
a URI
called a constraining facet, and v is a value. Each such pair is mapped 
to a
subset of the value space of the datatype. "

Please pick a more common character.

As compared to the previous rdf international strings, you have moved the @
inside the quotes.  This may require a little bit of an explanation.  In 
fact, a
list of differences with the existing version used in RDF & SPARQL would 
be useful.

Section 3: Why aren't there parallel versions of the length functions 
for lang
tags?


4.1.2 does not use the (unrenderable) notation of rdf:text values in the 
rest of
the doc, it uses parens. ($arg, "") instead of 〈 $arg1, $arg2 〉
