I can confirm that all the XML Schema simple/scalar datatype values can be represented as (unicode-string, uri) pairs using URIs from the XML Schema datatypes spec. The complex type values can, in theory, be represented that way, but (a) the XML Schema WG hasn't provided the relevant URIs, and (b) it looks like a hack/kludge to re-serialize XML values this way. > >+ Does the WG agree that Literal equality should be defined?
