Almost (there's nothing critical missing really, but...) I think that the adoption of the union interpretation of rdfs:drange http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Feb/0469.html and the addition of one more range property rdfs:lrange to constrain property values only to the lexical space of a datatype, http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Feb/0481.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Feb/0482.html would be desireable -- because it allows for the use of the inline (S-B) idiom as a datatyping idiom, and thus provides both for better backwards compatability with present usage as well as for the most intuitive, basic idiom to be retained and used for datatyping. > (Who are they?)

Though the union interpretation of rdfs:drange and addition of rdfs:lrange round things out nicely and would be a better final solution. > o Are there any concerns with the proposal > you would like to raise?
