rdf:List

The RDF Core group is discussing a late last call comment from a developer 
which proposes that triples of the form
_:x rdf:type rdf:List .
should not be produced by the
  rdf:parseType="Collection"
construct, but that it should only produce rdf:first and rdf:rest triples. 
[1][2]

I and Dave Beckett have opposed, on the grounds this construct was put in for 
OWL, (based on daml:collection) and this is what webont asked for.

Peter, at my invitation, has indicated he would oppose this change. [3]

However, RDF Core is deadlocked, so I have indicated that I am willing to 
shift my oppose to an abstain if I do not get strong support from WebOnt 
before the next RDF Core meeting (Friday 9th).

Comments?
