Re: Datatyping

Sandro:
"That suggests zero evolvability of RDF."

Hmmm.
If we reopen the datatyping can of worms the vote might split 70/30 the 
other way this time; and ...
then next time round it might be 40/60 back again.

I'm trying to thing of an equivalent evolution ... there was XML DTD to 
Schema ....

With RDF 1 as specified, it is possible to define your own semantic 
extension which includes interpretation properties.
I guess I would like to see success with this before adding such 
interpretation properties to the spec.
But I am not quite sure what I would mean by success.
