We decided a long time ago not to design a *replacement* container mechanism for Seq, Bag and Alt. I would say that rdf:Seq is the most used of the constructs of RDF/XML outside the basic node and property element and attribute parts. I see rdf:parseType="Collection" as a complex mechanism more appropriate for layering, working in a logic or inference style. Dave
