Let's recall that in the current semantics, the interpretation of "xxx"@en is a pair of a Unicode string "xxx" and a language tag "en". So the value space of rdflang:en could be the same: pairs <xxx, en> of unicode strings and the language tag "en". > This would imply that "chat"@en is not a string, right? Correct, just like in the current semantics. Best, Richard
