rdfs:Literal and the abstract syntax of literals and produce a proposal for
wording in the Abs. Syntax document.

Reviewing

   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2002Aug/0111.html

With apologies to the doc editors if they feel this is micromanaging, I
suggest that broadly:

   1.1 What is datatyping   -> concepts
   1.2 desiderata           -> concepts 2.2
   2.1 rdfs:Datatype        -> schema
   2.2 datatype mapping     -> concepts
   2.3 type literal         -> concepts
   3.  designation of ...   -> syntax
   3.1 global datatyping    -> schema
   3.2 datatype clashes     -> schema
   4.  model theory         -> ho hum, lets put that in test cases.
                               ok maybe not.  MT doc then.
   5.  schema               -> schema
   6.1  not sure
   6.2  examples            -> primer + other docs at editors discretion

Also needed:

   n-triples representation
   test cases

This suggests further actions:

   Graham or Jeremy update concepts doc to cover 1.1, 1.2, 2.2, 2.3
   Danbri or Guha update schema to cover 2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 5
   Pat              update model theory to cover 4
   DaveB            update n-triples (depends on completion of 2002-09-06#4)
   ??               prepare datatypes test cases

The datatyping document whose contents are to be incorporated.

See: http://www.ninebynine.org/wip/RDF-concepts/2002-10-25/rdf-concepts.html

This document release contains a reworking of the datatyping and abstract syntax to incorporate this material.

There is still some discussion about how to deal with language tags.
