RE: RDF and datatypes

If you are interested in a group that might be able to produce a consensus
opinion, then the joint committee probably is a better bet, at least just
now.  (I see that Mike Dean has been charged with doing exactly this.)

I think that it would be useful to solicit the view of non-joint committee
people on WOW-G, particularly those who care about XML.  To get reasoned
opinions from that group, however, it would be better to have more
information on S, particularly on what the RDF/XML encoding of S would look
like, and what XML constructs S is and is not compatible with.  I think
that this would be a good idea in any case, and a good idea for all of the
contending proposals.
