But what Jenny's (real) age is, is NOTHING TO DO WITH US. We are giving a spec for the RDF. The RDF uses the uriref <ex:age>, so the meaning of that is what we are concerned with. And in the example, the meaning of that is that IEXT(I(<ex:age>)) contains <I(Jenny), "10">, not <I(Jenny), 10>. So that is what we should say about it, clearly and unambiguously; so that if someone wants the relational extension to contain something else, they can know to write their RDF differently.
