 From the OWL 2 SS&FS:


"""IRIs with prefixes rdf:, rdfs:, xsd:, and owl: constitute the 
reserved vocabulary of OWL 2."""


so, no, we don't need to add rdf:LanguageTaggedLiteral to the reserved 
vocabulary since it is already in.

If "foo"@en is declared as syntactic sugar in *all* concrete syntaxes, 
then the mapping will certainly "look" the same, although abstractly 
different, right?

But that form of string will be forbidden to appear in concrete 
syntaxes, so would it cause real problems?

rdf:LanguagedTaggedString is not a replacement for rdf:PlainLiteral, 
it's a complement.


AZ.
