Untyped literals are untidy
2002-09-20 RDFcore telecon decides that untyped literals are untidy. This means that the concepts discussion must be reviewed and material adjusted or added to explain why this is so. Also, may need to note that naive syntactic query semantics aren't necessarily reflecting the underlying semnatics. Also, note common ways in which RDF has been used.

Needs explaining in concepts sections, maybe elsewhere.

This comment from the chair throws some doubt onto whether this is a final decision.

The whole area of literals has been extensively reworked, and this may become irrelevant as a distinct issue. Awaiting finalization of literals and datatyping before closing this issue.
