Re: Comments on this afternoon session on Turtle

Sorry, thinko, what I meant was:

I disagree, and I think it's very odd that the canonical serialisation would be:

"chat"^^xsd:string          }
"chat"                      }
"chat"@en-GB                } - all xsd:strings
"chat"@fr                   }

v's

"chat"                      }
"chat"^^xsd:string          }
"chat"@en-GB                } - all plain literals
"chat"@fr                   }

e.g. there's one syntax that's slightly weird if you normalise to plain literal, and three is you normalise to xsd:string. IMHO.
