TITLE:       Datatypes
DESCRIPTION: It appears that the RDF Core WG will not produce a solution to
	     the datatypes issue, as witness the lack thereof in the
	     current working drafts and the imminent end of the WG.
	     Therefore the WebOnt WG will have to either use the DAML+OIL
	     solution (which has flaws) or develop its own.

	     One possible resolution would be to extend the DAML+OIL
	     solution by allowing xsi:type attributes to provide local
	     typing information.
