It's probably fruitless to argue about the 1999 spec.   I suggest
people use only the current drafts [1].  There days there are plain
literals and datatype values.  My sense is that plain literals,
properties, and statements are mutually exclusive, but that datatype
literal values can be any resource (anything).
