The closest W3C-Recommended precedent I can think of is rdfs:label; is that close enough? i.e. traditional-kr:Thing is to rdf:Resource as traditional-kr:Name is to rdfs:label. Perhaps it's best to exploit that precedent, but make a new name for this specialized use: :lexRep a daml:UnambiguousProperty; rdfs:subPropertyOf rdfs:label; rdfs:domain xsd:anySimpleType; rdfs:range xsd:string. html:title and dc:title are in the neighborhood there somewhere too.
