Re: xhtml markup such as <strong> and <em> in RDFa values

Hi Ben,

If you leave off the datatype="", any child elements will appear in
the value. I think you only want this if the markup is an important
part of the literal value - the RDFa syntax specification uses the
example of  """ E = mc<sup>2</sup>: The Most Urgent Problem of Our
Time"""^^rdf:XMLLiteral

I'd say, except in special cases like that, you probably don't want to
use XML literals for titles - if you give it a datatype, you can't
also give it language tag. Only in cases where the markup is really
part of the content - like the body of a blog post for example, does
it make sense to use XML literals.
