Ashley,
> What's the best way to do this?
Don't inline the photo as a literal. Give the photograph a URL and
associate it with you:
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns="http://semantic.org/whatever#"
<Person>
<name>Ashley Yakeley</name>
<email>ashley@semantic.org</email>
<photo rdf:resource="http://..."/>
</Person>
</rdf:RDF>
That way you don't need types or b64 embedded literals and no-one else
needs to know your conventions for lifting jpegs out of literals; they
just need to know HTTP if they want to see the picture.

Patrick, I was hoping the wg would encourage us to give things URIs and
put them on the web, instead of trying to tunnel them through literals
via another type system.
