Draft: Summary of Responses to request for input on datatypes tradeoff

This is a draft of the summary of responses to the request for 
input.  Comments to me please so I can send it out.  If there is little 
discussion, I'll probably send it Thursday.  If there are substantive 
comments I'll hold off till after this weeks telecon.

taking a little vacation.

    Suggested Alternative Approaches:

       Consider defining literals to denote *sets* of values.

       Have two different kinds of equality
       http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2002JulSep/0023.html

       Require the syntax to be precise about the value that is intended
