Personally, I don't see any reason to make them disjoint. Plain literals without a language tag look just like xsd:strings to me. However, the comments from the XML Schema people that xsd:decimal and xsd:float are disjoint in some sense, leads towards making plain literals and xsd:strings disjoint.
