Who said it had to be this way? The outcome is dependent on the results of the xmllang issue, but I don't believe it's a stretch at all to see: _:a <foo:bar> <data:text/plain;lang=en;weekend> . _:a <foo:bar> <data:text/plain;lang=fr;weekend> . or some other, similar syntax to do the same thing. -- "Aaron Swartz" | The Semantic Web <mailto:me@aaronsw.com> | <http://logicerror.com/semanticWeb-long> <http://www.aaronsw.com/> | i'm working to make it happen
