It appears to me that Dan's proposal is to turn every property (that has a datatype as its type) into two properties, one that maps into the string and one that maps into the datum corresponding to the string. (Maybe the proposal is even to have multiple properties, one that maps into the string, and one that maps into a datatype reading of that string, for every possible datatype.) I would be much happier with a solution that had a single property, namely size, that mapped directly into a datatype. I don't see any benefits from having these multiple properties; only disadvantages. Further, it appears to me that Dan's proposal breaks RDF in a very significant fashion, requiring literals (or at least datatype values) to be the source of properties. Comments? peter
