The I18N group also raised the following XMLLiteral related issue: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003OctDec/0120.html [[ - XML Literals containing only text should be equivalent to the corresponding plain literals and to the corresponding string type literals. ]] I propose we add a new issue to the issue list: relationship between XMLLiterals and plain literals, and postpone it. Rationale: It is too late in the day to add new requirements. The lack of semantic equivalence between XMLLiterals and plain literals has been clear since the first WD of RDF Concepts, and was arguable in RDF Model and Syntax. The RDF Semantics does not preclude RDF applications using additional information to determine that two literals are equivalent, but does not mandate that they should be. Hence, RDF applciations which require this equivalence may operate in such a mode, and so this issue is not a show stopper. Jeremy Proposed response: ==================== Dear Martin thank you for your comment http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-comments/2003OctDec/0120.html [[ - XML Literals containing only text should be equivalent to the corresponding plain literals and to the corresponding string type literals. ]] The RDF Core WG have decided to add a new issue to the issue list and postpone it. This decision to postpone is on the grounds of timeliness. We noted that applications which require this equivalence are not prohibited from asserting it, so we do not regard this issue as a showstopper. Please reply cc-ing www-rdf-comments@w3.org, indicating whether this response is acceptable or not. Jeremy
