I'm a bit confused, perhaps you can write that out in legal N-triples?
I assume you mean:
foo rdfs:range _:x .
_:x unionOf (xsd:integer, xsd:string) .
and
john foo "10" .
as opposed to either
john foo xsd:integer"10" .
or
john foo xsd:string"10" .
this according to the latest changes to the still unfinished RDFCore
datatyping work.
ok so it the issue of how to interpret the literal "10"? doesn't this depend
on whether RDFCore decides that the _default_ type of an untyped literal is
xsd:string? Or if not then the interpretation of "10" includes
{xsd:integer"10", xsd:string"10"}?
