Re: Simpler syntax for RDF / Counter-proposal

Thank you, Sergey and Tim.  I think this direction looks very promising.

Questions: what about containers?  Let's say I have the following property
attached to a document with WebDAV:

<D:prop>
<meta>
<rdf:RDF>
<rdf:Description about="" xmlns:dc="...">
    <dc:title>
        <rdf:Alt>
            <rdf:li xml:lang="en-us">English Title</rdf:li>
            <rdf:li xml:lang="fr">French Title</rdf:li>
        </rdf:Alt>
    </dc:title>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
</meta>
</D:prop>

How would I express this, with either proposed simplification?  I hope the
answer isn't conversion to the rdf:_1, rdf:_2, etc. notation, which is no
simplification if you ask me.

>From a purely XSLT/XPath manipulation point-of-view, the simplification I'd
like to see is something like the following:

    <dc:title>
        <rdf:Alt xml:lang="en-us">English Title</rdf:Alt>
        <rdf:Alt xml:lang="fr">French Title</rdf:Alt>
    </dc:title>

=======================

Question: What about parseType='Literal'?  This is the flip-side issue of
the opaqueness/transparency (with respect to RDF processing) issue.
