xsd:string coercion

Should xsd:string values be coerced to plain literals?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
LC Comment - RDFa Core 1.1
Raised by:

Description:
RDF WG has just issued a decision on the long-standing xsd:string vs.
plain literal debate:

http://www.w3.org/blog/SW/2011/06/29/reconciling_various_forms_of_string_lite

Should we update RDFa 1.1 Core Processing Sequence to ensure that
anything typed as "xsd:string" generates a plain literal?
