Ooops, yeah. I've added www-archive to the cc list, so the e-mail is
properly archived *somewhere*, at least.
Shall I request a new mailing list for this? public-rdf-text@w3.org, I
guess?
One odd thing that occured to me (during my sleep, I think) about using
the RDF namespace is that the rdf:text datatype will never be used in
(existing) RDF serializations, because they already have a way to
serialize such data. Happily, this lets us avoid worrying about the
constraint in RDF Syntax [1], "Any other names [in the RDF namespace]
are not defined and SHOULD generate a warning when encountered". We
should note this in the spec, I think. Note also that future RDF
serializations might choose to use this, so they don't have to
special-case language-tagged strings.
