RE: Take 2: how does existing RDF software handle this datatypes test?

RDQL results for "take 2".  Results as I expected :-)

The runs are:
1/ Global datatyping - no matches
2/ Local datatyping - check variable of same type - no matches
3/ Local datatyping - get types of variables, must be same - no matches
4/ Local datatyping - get types of variables, test types - no matches
5/ Old query 1 : Global datatyping, no type checking - 1 match
6/ Old query 2 : Global datatyping, no type checking - 1 match
7/ Old query 1 : Local datatyping, no type checking - no matches
8/ Old query 2 : Local datatyping, no type checking - no matches

There are two versions for the local typing case.  The alternative version
works because bNodes have an internal form that can be used for testing
identity.

Local datatyping caused the old style query to not match.
This is what I expected.  "new data (local), old code (not current WG RDF,
MT and all)" fails because RDQL does not know anything about the meaning of
a bNodes used for type information.  Queries 2, 3 and 4 are that query.

When datatyping arrives, the application programmer model should mask the
detail of the different idioms and graph details.  That is a different query
language - RDQL is a "graph-access" language in this new world.
