Version 1 (lang-string) works for both S and TDL wherever we have been talking about a string, we now talk about a lang-string. This is a pair of an optional language tag and a string and has been explored in depth at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2001Sep/0341.html Version 2 (lang-triple) IMO works better with TDL, because of tidiness. xml:lang goes into the triple structure (i.e. we decide M&S got it wrong) I have a preference for 2 if we can live with the charter issues. My understanding of Sergey's message: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Feb/0008.html is that in S, the lang-triple needs to modify a bNode, which at least in S-B, needs to be autogenerated. In TDL, I think we could have the literal-node being the subject of the lang-triple. Jeremy
