Full results for RDQL are below.  Three ways to do the query using (1)
literal comparision (query variables are not bNodes), (2) string comparison
and (3) integer comparison.  Summary: the queries do match the data.

I'm confused by:

This is not what the data says as I read it.  There are no range constraints
specified.  Is the example data complete?  If RDFS information is provided
then it could be included in the query.

If type information were available, Geoffs comments about suporting non-tidy
literals could apply to RDQL.

Notes:
The RDQL result formatter prints bNodes so the internal objects can be
reconstructed.  It isn't meant to be pretty!.
