Its simple: a >literal is a pair ("string", "lang"). If that is what a literal is, why have we been using examples like "35" during the entire datatyping discussion? (Should these have been ("35", "Mathematics") ?) How does one define the application of a datatype mapping to a (string, lang) pair ??? >My question was: does anyone have a compelling reason to change >this.

I think the point was that literals *without lang* are tidy, which is my understanding of the current situation.
