"10" isn't an integer. Aha... In which case, I think you're flying in the face of existing RDF practice. I, and I think many others, have certainly assumed that one can write something like: <ex:subj> <ex:prop> "10" . To express the idea (to an application that knows about the vocabulary) that <ex:subj> has a property <ex:prop> with the integer value 10. E.g. what you are suggesting will break aspects of CC/PP and UAProf. #g ------------------------------------------------------------ Graham Klyne MIMEsweeper Group Strategic Research <http://www.mimesweeper.com> <Graham.Klyne@MIMEsweeper.com> ------------------------------------------------------------
