Fwd: XMLLiteral

Brian, can you add a Comment under Semantics called  pjh-01 linked to 
this, to the effect that the Semantics document should have some 
prose added to section 3.4 to clarify this point (that RDF doesn't 
provide any way to define new datatypes).

I think we need to make this very clear, it's obviously not spelled 
out adequately at present.

This is related to pfps-09, you can make it the same comment if you prefer.

Thanks

Pat
