Dave, can you answer me a quick question about RDF/XML? Sorry I am still so behind the curve on this, but I need to get this exactly right given our decision about plain literals and xsd:string. Consider a plain literal in an RDF graph which uses some characters which require escaping in XML, eg say "<br/>". 1. Is it the case that in RDF/XML, this would be rendered using XML character escaping? Ie it would look like this "&gr;br/<" ? 2. If so, would it be correct to say that in spite of this, that the literal character string itself was the original 5-character Unicode sequence? (Or is the character string of the literal an 11-character sequence in RDF/XML but a 5-character sequence in the graph? I hope not....) 3. If so, are there any literal character sequences which *cannot* be sent through RDF/XML? Or does XML provide an escape for every Unicode code point? Thanks.
