The change to remove language tags from typed literals makes my particular
comment moot.  However, other RDF documents would need to change to support
this significant change, and this message does not give any indication of
whether these other documents have been changed appropriately.

The new version of RDF Semantics appears to treat typed literals adequately
in this area, except for issues related to whether XML Literals are strings.
