Re: proposed changes to the rdf:text document for option 5

Thanks for working with me on this. Let me try once again:

<interpretation>

Because [syntactic] RDF plain literals are already a part of RDF and
SPARQL syntaxes [e.g. RDF/XML], rdf:PlainLiteral literal [values] are
written [by those who don't know about rdf:PlainLiteral syntax,
because they don't know about it, and by those who do, because they
are aware of this spec] as [syntactic] RDF plain literals in RDF and
SPARQL syntaxes [except when they're written using some other syntax,
such as xs:string].

[RDF graphs will usually not contain typed literal nodes with datatype
RDF:PlainLiteral simply because the corresponding surface syntax won't
be used.]

</interpretation>

Does that do it? I'm not proposing to include the bracketed parts, but
I would like an interpretation of this sentence that you and I agree
on captured in the email archive.

Best
Jonathan
