Well, its not being arbitrary to say that the existing use cases are so confused that we are unable to give a coherent account of what this is supposed to mean. Which seems to be the position we are in with rdf:value. If we want to keep DC happy then we could try to identify their use pattern and make it official. Or we could just tell DC that they need to mend their ways. >In particular, Dublin >Core is using this right now for the purpose it was suggested in RDF >M&S - multi-value properties.

I was under the impression that we had eliminated it when we made the simplify-datatyping decision. I know I was wrong, but I would have spoken out earlier if I hadnt been under this impression. > > * no big changes in the last versions of documents Removing something isn't a big CHANGE exactly, since it can only result in other deletions in other documents.
