Yeah, that's an attractive option, but it has a shortcoming in that one may wish to express something without decimal precision, and expect to get an integer back from say a SPARQL endpoint. I'd much prefer to treat units and datatypes as orthogonal issues, I really think they are. Cheers, Kjetil -- Kjetil Kjernsmo kjetil@kjernsmo.net http://www.kjetil.kjernsmo.net/
