I personally think we have 'new information' [1] in that the reagle decision allows a simplish resolution of pfps-08 to align XMLLiteral with the other datatypes, which then means that the lang tag would never be used on type literals and could be purged. I guess that procedurally that would be reopening reagle-01, reagle-02, pfps-08 - and it might be better to get on with the other issues first. (Even superficially related ones, such as danc-0? goofy literals, are orthogonal). Jeremy [1] "So finish the job! :-)" http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Apr/0056.html
