Is there an approved way to indicate the three parts of a literal in Ntriples? Or should we just take the line that while literals are defined to have three parts, we will proceed as though they were just strings, really? I would prefer it if we had a notation which did in fact exactly reflect our decisions, if only to be able to avoid having weasel-wording in the spec. For example, right now the MT is obliged to say something like this: "An RDF literal has three parts (a bit, a character string, and a language tag [@@reference@@]), but we will treat them simply as character strings, since the other parts of the literal play no role in the model theory." which is tacky, to say the least. BTW, what is the normative reference to go in there?
