The list of types is not closed off. There was a language that implied that the list is closed off, but it was removed 2 days ago. There is nothing in the semantics or the syntax that requires closing-off. --michael > > ISSUE-34: extensibility of datatype support > > http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/track/issues/34 > > Raised by: Jos de Bruijn > On product: Technical Design > > It is unclear to me why the list of datatypes is > fixed.
