Re: Datatype normalization

This discussion becomes clearer if we consider the 'date' "10/12/06"

The fact that the author of the RDF hasn't followed the specs enough to 
know that this is not what people are expecting, means that it is clear 
that we have to get inside their head at least a little, to make a 
decent guess as to which day they might have been thinking about. 
Knowing nothing at all about the author, means that we are likely to 
just extrapolate our own cultural prejudices.

"10.2" only feels less problematic because our prejudices are stronger.

My "0.02"^^xsd:decimal dollars.
