A question. RDFS has a class named rdfs:Literal. Presumably this is supposed to be the class of all literal values, right? So it ought to be the case that for any literal LLL, this would be true: LLL rdf:type rdfs:Literal . But that's syntactically illegal. In fact it is impossible to say that literal has any properties in RDF, so why do we have a class in RDFS of things that we aren't allowed to say are in a class? (This came up when I was trying to characterize valid inference in RDFS, by the way. Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I've only just noticed it.)
