Thanks for the pointer, I will draw the attention of the WG to this.

In the WG discussion my view has been that in M&S a literal is a pair
consisting of a unicode string and a lang-tag. An RDF API, such as Jena, and
an RDF parser, such as ARP, should provide access to both (which both do).
Unfortunately the W3C validator site does not show the lang-tag.
With such a pair, which currently appears to have WG support, the section
you have pointed to is, at best, unnecessary.
