Yes, I would say that this is the intended meaning of "IRIs 
<https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/#dfn-iri> of the form 
|http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#/xxx/|, where |/xxx/| is the name of a 
datatype, denote the built-in datatypes defined in /XML Schema 1.1 Part 
2: Datatypes" <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/>/in 5.1 of RDF 1.1 
Concepts.//  It probably would have been better to make this blindingly 
obvious, however.
