It does mean you can write "rdfs:range rdf:LanguageTaggedString" ; it's hard to say "rdfs:range <a string, which might be tagged>" (I suppose rdf:PlainLiteral would capture that). So taking Ivan's FOAF file: <foaf:name xml:lang="hu">Herman Iván</foaf:name> <foaf:name>Ivan Herman</foaf:name> It does have a cost which is the deployed code that assumes literals have a language tag or a datatype.
