On reflection, I don't think we should shilly-shally with 'typically' when using this strict language, so Ive simplified this to: A 'datatype-aware' RDF engine SHOULD be competent to recognize at least the built-in rdf:XMLLiteral datatype. It MAY also recognize the set of all the XML Schema built-in datatypes. OK??
