The time for changing terminology just because it is "better" is long gone. The term “Plain Literal” *will* still be present in the RDF 1.1 Concepts document, for exactly the reason you state, *at least* in a Note. We will discuss this in more detail when a decision regarding language tags has been made; right now it's premature. At any rate, I take your message as a vote that the class containing all xsd:strings and all language-tagged strings should be called rdf:PlainLiteral as it reflects established terminology. Best, Richard
