It's a small change, but not one that I think can be reasonably read into the RDF 1.0 spec. We're not designing RDF 1.0; we're clarifying the spec, right? If/when we get around to designing, I'll suggest that we replace rdf:parseType with xsi:type (from XML Schema) wholesale. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
