I'm sorry, I'm being thick again.  What's the advantage exactly?  To whom?  Does 
this advantage differentiate DanC's proposal from the others?

What I see above is the A & B => A.  Which is true, but I miss the significance.

Are you suggesting that

   <rdf:Description>
     <eg:prop>foo</eg:prop>
   </rdf:Description>

is really shorthand for

   <rdf:Description>
     <eg:prop rdfs:str="foo"/>
   </rdf:Description>


Yours confused
Brian
