This is very much a strawman - intended to provoke suggestions for improvement. In http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Jun/0025.html I18N made two post call comments. The comment makes two points. Regarding the first: JJC has proposed that the value space of XML literal is not a character string, and thus (if that proposal is accepted) the point is moot. Regarding the second: If the user wishes to have a language tagged string without markup, they should use a plain literal. We accept that the recent change to require that language tags be represented explicitly within an XML fragment is less convenient. However, we believe that this is outweighed by the confusion that is likely if xml literal is made a special case. We note that we received feedback prior to last call requesting that xml literal be treated as a datatype. We note that the value space of the datatype is a fragment of canonical XML and the canonicalization spec supports the RDFCore position that a surrounding lang tag is not part of a canonicalized XML fragment. http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315#XMLCanonicalization Brian
