I suggest an abstract syntax along the lines of: An RDF Literal Node can be labelled with one of: - an RDF String Literal (as now) - an RDF XML Literal (as now) - a value from the value space of a datatype. We simply note that an implementation that is unaware of a specific datatype used in an RDF/XML document will need to store the datatype URI + lexical form pair as a fall-back. An RDF Graph contains precisely one triple for each Literal node in the graph. [As I have previously indicated this extreme syntactic untidiness is practically indistinguishable from extreme tidiness, but leaves Pat more room to wriggle.] I will send another e-mail, replying to this to motivate the use of values rather than Patrick's preference for pairs.
