Description:
Given that we are making dataranges more expressive, should we add a construct to make a datarange of all literals matching a range of language tags

> I wonder what RIF is planning to do

As I understand it (which is not all that well), RIF equality is in the
semantic domain, so "1"^^xs:int == "01"^^xs:int, etc. I should make
this a test case to be sure.

Our current drafts equate RDF plain literals (without a language tag) to
xs:strings. For plain literals with language tags, we made up a new
data type, rif:text, which includes a language tag. In RIF, literals
are all data-typed literals. For details, see [1]

I hope that helps.
