ISSUE-34: extensibility of datatype support

Raised by: Jos de Bruijn
On product: Technical Design

It is unclear to me why the list of datatypes is
fixed. By fixing this list, every implementation needs to support all
mentioned data types, and no other data types can be used in
meaning-preserving fashion. I propose to make a list of datatypes which
need to be supported by every RIF implementation (e.g. xsd:string,
xsd:integer), and a list of additional data types which are recommended
for use with RIF (e.g. xsd:gYearMonth).
