I object to the proposed datatypes solution. It is overly-complex, requiring RDF processors to understand a large system of datatypes and their relations. (It also has many edge-cases that are likely to cause more of the problems and incompatibilities this WG was chartered to fix.) It is backwards-incompatible, requiring all software with RDF data structures to be changed. I support the rdfs:format datatypes proposal of Dan Connolly: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Oct/0031.html It is simple, elegant, and fully backwards-compatible. I also support the null datatypes proposal. -- Aaron Swartz [http://www.aaronsw.com/]
