Well, presumably we'd want to allow lists to include types of literals
and to include objects. So the lexical representation would have to be
more like:
"1"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemaint>,<http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i>,...
and there's probably no way to include bNodes (for better or for worse).
So, it's not great....
