I agree. When developing our RDF based software we had to
support typing. The way we do it now is by referring to
XML Schema basic data types with URIs as rdfs:range values.

Of course, basic data types are easy but applying facets
makes life trickier. Perhaps simpleTypes and complexTypes
could also be URI addressed within an XML schema file?

Hoping to see some standardised solution come out in the
next release of RDF schemas.
