The container properties and classes (rdf:Seq, rdf:Bag, rdf:Alt) are loosing their special forms in the syntax but entirely remain in the model. This makes the syntax easier to read and more consistent. In some cases it makes things legal that previously weren't, although there was no good reason why they were not. Dave (*) There are a few syntax changes; please see the attention developers section of the RDF Core WG Issues list at http://www.w3.org/2000/03/rdf-tracking/#attention-developers
