Re: [sdw] Unsupported datatype - xsd:DateTimeStamp (#1435)

This seems to be an instance of the perennials design argument about how much of the semantics of a property should be encapsulated in its data type (allowable target) and how much "elsewhere" (the semantics of the property).

In this example, xsd:dateTimeStamp is a data type that is more semantically precise than xsd:dateTime and is therefore appropriate for some properties but not others. Same sort of thing applies to "length" vs "distance".

Whether the semantics should be captured in the relationship or the target differs with the design decisions embedded in different encodings (for want of a better word!).
