Regarding: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2002Jul/0199.html I enthusiastically agree (with the last paragraph). Yet this doesn't break current RDF/XML files. Several examples: <ex:Example rdf:ID="foo"> <ex:property>10</ex:property> </ex:Example> -> "10" as a string <ex:Example rdf:ID="foo2"> <ex:property xsi:type="xsd:decimal">10</ex:property> </ex:Example> -> 10 the integer (this idiom shouldn't exist in the wild as yet, and if it does exist, the intention is to do exactly as above) Perhaps: <ex:Example rdf:ID="foo3"> <ex:property rdf:parseType="xsd:decimal">10</ex:property> </ex:Example> which doesn't require changes to the RDF/XML syntax! Indeed the rdf:parseType can exactly be considered a particular mapping from a lexical to value space. Jonathan
